Bayern Munich ready to make Alexis Sanchez their highest-paid player

Bayern Munich reportedly are confident that they can sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal this summer.

If Alexis Sanchez leaves Arsenal for Bayern Munich this summer, he will become the Bundesliga giants' highest-paid player on £350,000 a week, according to the Mirror.

The report claims that Sanchez's agent has already held talks with Bayern, and they are confident of luring the Chile international to Germany, especially considering Arsenal's preference to not sell to a Premier League rival.

The Telegraph adds that although Chelsea and Manchester City are interested, Bayern are favourites and would be willing to pay £40 million for Sanchez, who is entering the final year of his Arsenal contract, and their offer dwarfs the current £280,000-a-week offer on the table from the Gunners.
