Chelsea have made a late
move to hijack Manchester United’s deal for Alexis Sanchez as Antonio Conte
looks to bolster his attack, according to reports. The Chilean was widely
expected to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, though United made a late move
to sign him and offered both a bigger transfer fee and more lucrative salary
package.
That has prompted City to withdraw from the running, but now the
Manchester Evening News claim that Jose Mourinho’s hopes of signing Sanchez
could be undone by his old club Chelsea. After three goalless draws in a row,
Conte wants more firepower up front (Picture: Getty) Antonio Conte has made
little secret of his appreciation for Sanchez in the past, and now the west
Londoners are prepared to try and lure him to Stamford Bridge. While United are
still confident of completing a deal, Chelsea’s involvement could now push the
fee even higher than the £35m United are willing to pay – which was already
£15m more than City’s maximum offer
