Arsenal fans are desperate for their club to tie Alexis Sanchez down to a new contract.
During an exclusive interview with Chilean media outlet La Tercera, Gunners legend Robert Pires opened up on a conversation he had with current Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, pertaining to the possibility of him signing a new deal at the Emirates.
Arsenal fans are growing increasingly more concerned as every week goes by without any progress being made in discussions between the club and their star man.
Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez
Many pundits and fans have urged Arsenal to pay whatever it takes to keep Sanchez at the club throughout his prime years, but it maybe more than just money that will decide where the former Barcelona man is playing his football next year.
Sanchez is renowned for his winning mentality, and a player of his ilk will surely not be happy to remain at a club where a culture of acceptance of failure seems to have crept into the setup.
And Pires, who made 284 appearances for the Gunners during a glittering career in north London, shared what the Chilean told him regarding his future, during an exclusive interview with La Tercera:
Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez
“I spoke to Alexis last week and asked about the renewal. He told me he didn’t know, that he only cared to play. The renewal is not a subject for Alexis. He doesn’t know what is going to happen, he just wants to play and enjoy.”
And the Chilean’s vague response regarding his future will do little to ease the fears of Gunners fans.
