But with the club finishing outside the top-four and Arsene Wenger set to remain as manager, the chances of Sanchez remaining look to be getting less and less likely.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are ready to make Sanchez an offer to stay in England, but sources close to the player’s camp believe that he has his heart set on a move back to the continent.

The former Barcelona and Udinese ace has little over 12-months left on his contract, and he knows he has a lot of power in the situation and at 28, he is also aware this could be his last big-money move of his career.

Juventus have been on his trail for over 12-months, but since January Bayern and also French giants Paris Saint Germain have been making overtures – but it is believed that at this moment it is choice between the champions of Italy or Germany.

SkyBet list Bayern as odds on to land Sanchez at just 8/11.
