‘I Don’t Know if I will be in Arsenal Next Season', Says Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez has revealed that he has made a decision over his future but is refusing to confirm that he will stay at Arsenal. The 28-year-old has just one year remaining on his current contract and is one of Manchester City’s priority targets for the summer transfer window. Pep Guardiola’s side are understood to be confident of securing a deal, despite Arsenal’s insistence that they will not be forced into a sale if the forward refuses to sign a new deal.

Sanchez, however, has reportedly made City his first-choice destination and is keen on being reunited with Guardiola, who he worked under at Barcelona.

When asked if he will be Claudio Bravo’s team-mate at City next season during a press conference with Chile’s national team, Sanchez replied: ‘Good question! Right now I’m focused on the Confederations Cup.

‘When this is finished I will see if I stay or go. I don’t know.’

Asked if his decision is clear in his mind, Sanchez replied: ‘Yes, it’s clear. But I can’t tell you.’

When directly asked by Sky Sports about his chances of staying at Arsenal, the Chilean said: ‘I don’t know, my friend. I don’t know.’

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Could Make Man United Return this Year, Says Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available for Manchester United before the end of the year. The Swedish striker - who has been regularly updating his Instagram followers of his rehabilitation from a knee injury - has this week begun doing some very light ball work with the club's coaching staff at Carrington. Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year deal at United on August 24 after the first serious injury of his career cut short a stellar first season at Old Trafford earlier this year. The player's doctor Freddie Fu has warned against rushing his return and United boss Jose Mourinho had previously suggested he will not play for the club in January but has reassessed that prediction. "(Paul) Pogba is not here I don't know when he will be back," he said. "Zlatan is working under our control here as I would expect. He is working so, so hard but he won't be back in the next week or the next couple of weeks. "He nee...
