Manchester City favourites to sign Alexis Sanchez, says Udinese president

By Telegraph staff8:43AM BST 14 Jun 2011Comments The 22-year-old Chile international is being courted by a who's who of Europe's top clubs - Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Juventus City have already had one £21m offer rejected by Udinese and Barcelona also fell short of the asking price, despite offering Bojan and Thiago as part of the deal. City have now upped the stakes, and their bid, however, by sending chief executive Garry Cook out to Italy to iron out a deal, and it appears to have done the trick. Udinese's club president, Giampaolo Pozzo, said: "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. "Inter, Juventus, Barca and City are all after Sanchez but no concrete offers reflecting the value of the player have arrived. Related Articles
