Source: Manchester City ends interest in signing Alexis Sanchez
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City no longer has any interest in signing Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.
City is unwilling to match the transfer fee and related costs to sign Sanchez that are being offered by other clubs, or to make him its top earner, a person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly about the negotiations.
City’s hierarchy held a meeting with manager Pep Guardiola on Monday about whether the club would make a bid for Sanchez. City was close to signing the Chile international on the final day of the summer transfer window but a deal fell through.
