The Mirror reports City will launch a £50m bid for Sanchez – but Arsenal want £30m MORE.

And it is believed the forward, who has one year left on his current deal, has told Arsenal he wants to quit the club for the Etihad.

A source told Chilean outlet El Mercurio: “Not having European competition of the level of the Champions League is significant for Alexis.

“He is motivated by playing in it, and winning it.”

The Gunners offered Sanchez a £275,000-a-week contract in the hopes of persuading him to stay at the Emirates.

But he is holding out on a mammoth £400k a week.
