Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez meets PSG sporting director in Paris

Sanchez is stalling on signing a new contract at Arsenal, with reports suggesting several top European clubs have shown interest in acquiring his services.

The forward expressed his desire to play in the Champions League – something of which the Gunners cannot offer him following their fifth-place finish last season – increasing speculation that he will leave the Emirates this summer.

The 28-year-old was given an extended holiday following his endeavours with Chile in the Confederations Cup, and has not joined up with his team-mates in Beijing for their pre-season tour.

Reports in France claim that he has arrived in Paris and has held talks with PSG's sporting director, Antero Henrique, regarding a move to the French capital.

Henrique had been in the United States with PSG last weekend but he returned to Europe before the club's International Champions Cup opener against Roma in Detroit because of transfer business.

The French club have reportedly offered Arsenal £35 million for Sanchez, despite Arsene Wenger insisting that the player is not for sale.

“The decision has been made and we will stick to that,” he said.

“The decision is not to sell.”
