Reports: Arsenal offer way below Sanchez demands

Joe Williams

Alexis Sanchez has been offered £80,000-a-week less than he wants to stay at Arsenal, according to reports.

The Chilean has 18 months left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium and the Gunners have yet to offer him a deal that matches his demands.

The Daily Mirror claims that Sanchez is holding out for £250,000-a-week but the latest offer from Arsenal is only worth £180,000-a-week.

*By our calculations that’s only a £70,000-a-week difference.*

With the two parties still some way apart it is understood that talks could even continue into next summer.

Interestingly, the newspaper also says that neither Sanchez or fellow contract rebel, Mesut Ozil, have been given assurances over the future of long-term manager Arsene Wenger.
