Arsenal join race for Barca star?

Arsenal have reportedly joined Juventus in the race to land the signature of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona this summer, according to The People.

The Chilean international who joined the Catalan giants from Udinese in the summer of 2011, is deemed surplus to requirements for the next campaign following the arrival of Neymar last summer.

 

The People claims that Barca have offered the player to their suitors, and are likely to accept bids in the region of £25m for his services.

 

However, Turin giants Juventus are understood to be leading the race, having reportedly made an initial bid of £20m for the talented striker.

 

Sanchez has notched up 20 goals for Barca in all competitions this season.
