Man City confident of signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal

Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen on signing the Chilean, but Pep Guardiola's side are in the driving seat. 

Manchester City are increasingly confident of signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal this summer despite firm interest from a number of domestic rivals, Goal understands.

It is believed City boss Pep Guardiola and Manchester United's Jose Mourinho have both made contact with Alexis personally in recent weeks in a bid to convince him that he should join their respective clubs.

United are in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer, with Wayne Rooney set to leave Old Trafford and Mourinho still unconvinced about Anthony Martial's temperament.

Chelsea are also extremely keen to sign Alexis, while Paris Saint-Germain have been in regular contact about a move to France over the last few months.
