Arsenal Preparing £50m Summer Swoop For Alexis Sanchez’s Replacement

Arsenal are preparing a £50million summer swoop for Porto attacker Yacine Brahimi and Schalke midfielder Max Meyer, according to reports.

The Gunners are believed to be preparing for life without Alexis Sanchez and have started identifying targets to replace the Chilean star who has been in the news for refusing to renew his contract at the Emirates.

Reports in the Sun claim that the North London side will compete with the likes of AC Milan and Inter for the signature of Algerian forward Yacine Brahimi who has been on the club’s radar since the last summer transfer window.

It is also understood that Arsenal wants to sign German play-maker Max Meyer as a potential replacement for Mesut Ozil who might also leave the club after failing to renew his contract with the club but the Gunners will have to compete with Liverpool who are also believed to be eyeing his signature.

Arsene Wenger had recently admitted that the club are not willing to meet Sanchez’s wage demands as it might destabilise the dressing room.

This comes following reports that Arsenal have completed a summer transfer for Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac who is expected to join the Gunners for free after signing a pre-contract agreement.
