Arsenal remain absolutely determined to resist any Manchester City or Premier League offer for Alexis Sanchez this summer.

The north London club will only sell Sanchez abroad, meaning Bayern Munich remain his likeliest destination if he does not see out the last year of his contract at the Emirates.

With the 28-year-old’s current deal set to end in 2018, there is a growing expectation that City will bid £50m over the next week to try and test Arsenal’s position.

The London club are resolute they will not sell to a rival, however. Arsenal’s fundamental position is still that they are still trying to persuade Sanchez to sign a new deal, but that prospect looks increasingly unlikely, especially after the club failed to qualify for the Champions League.
