The report from Simon Mullock of the Mirror says Arsenal will let Sánchez move to the Etihad as soon as they’re able to sign Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco on a £90 million deal. Lemar to Arsenal looks like a real possibility, so it’s quite likely that Alexis will be a Blue over the next few hours.
City will pay Arsenal a £55 million fee up front with another £5 million in performance bonuses to be added later, and if it all goes well, we should have an announcement soon.
THIS IS REALLY FREAKING HAPPENING!
