Udinese have confirmed that Manchester City are
favourites to land Alexis Sanchez, should they actually sell the
Chilean this summer.
City have been jostling to land the brilliant 22-year-old along
with Barcelona, Inter Milan and Juventus.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are also credited with an
interest - but it does appear to be a four-way chase for the
Udinese forward.
Udinese, though, insist they will only let Sanchez leave on
their terms which means a bid of €45million (£39.5m) as they are
already believed to have snubbed approaches of over €30million
(£26.3m).
Club president Giampaolo Pozzo has admitted that City's
financial power has seen them become favourites after they made a
fresh push for his signature of the weekend.
"I think it is 50-50 he will stay, if Sanchez were to leave I
would give City the highest percentage to sign him because English
football is rich and it knows how to value young talent," Pozzo is
quoted as saying.
"Inter, Juventus, Barca and City are all after Sanchez but no
concrete offers reflecting the value of the player have
arrived.
'I've already spoken with Alexis and his agent and I think they
will understand I can't give him away."
Reports suggest that City's hierarchy including football
administrator Brian Marwood is leading a delegation to Italy to try
and tie up a deal.
