Alexis Sanchez contract talks at complete halt

Chile international Alexis Sanchez has reportedly made his mind up to leave Arsenal at the end of the season. The 28-year-old has decided against signing a contract extension, and this leaves him with just nine months on his Gunners deal.

According to Goal.com, transfer negotiations between the club and player have reached a complete halt, and the attacker is likely to leave on a Bosman.

It is added that both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are lining up contract offers for the Chilean, although the latter are favourites following their failed attempt in the summer.

Pep Guardiola's side had agreed on a £60m package with Arsenal for Sanchez on transfer deadline day, but the deal could not go through as the Gunners were unable to sign a replacement.

Sanchez's teammate Mesut Ozil is in a similar contract standoff with the Gunners, and it is suggested that the German could make a surprise switch to arch-rivals Manchester United next summer.
