Star card system.

Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal's No. 7 star, the Gunners' absolute thigh.

The 29-year-old Chilean forward is full of honors.

After two years of debut in Chilean domestic clubs, he was spotted by Serie A team Udinese and took him to Europe.

In just three years, he proved his worth in Serie A.

In the summer of 2011, he became a member of Barcelona.

In several seasons at Barcelona, ​​in a star-studded lineup, although he was only a rotation, he also showed amazing strength.

In 2014, in order to find the main position, he switched to Arsenal.

Arsenal, which has always been cautious in investing, spent a high price of 4250 million euros for him.

It was during his few seasons at Arsenal that he really grew up.

Especially last season, he played 38 times, scored 24 goals, and provided 10 assists.

This is definitely the level of a top striker in the Premier League.

He has turned the tide for Arsenal many times, and he is definitely the Gunners' thigh.

At the beginning of this season, there were rumors that he planned to leave the team.

Moreover, Manchester City also made a public bid of 5000 million euros to sign him.

Guardiola has also expressed his love for Sanchez in public on many occasions.

But Wenger refused.

He doesn't want his top star to join a competitor.

At the same time, Arsenal also accelerated the pace of renewing Sanchez's contract.

With one year left on his contract, Arsenal offered Sanchez a high salary of £30 a week.

This is already the maximum salary in the Premier League.

But Sanchez disagreed and demanded a weekly salary of 40 pounds.If not, have an interview.

This gave Wenger a headache.

For a 29-year-old veteran, Arsenal management will never allow this to happen by offering such a high price.

In the end, Sanchez failed to transfer and leave, and the contract renewal failed to proceed.

In this case, Sanchez's situation is very delicate.

Next summer, he will be able to transfer freely. By then, let alone Manchester City's 5000 million euro transfer fee, Arsenal will not even get a cent.

So far this season, Sanchez has played 16 times, scored 6 goals and provided two assists.

It’s a huge difference compared to last season.

The Chilean's mind is clearly not on Arsenal.

In this case, Woodward is already considering the possibility of taking action.

Even without Ibrahimovic's injury or Mourinho's request, Santoku has been paying attention to this matter.

Now it happens that Mourinho wants to buy a striker, and Sanchez is a good choice.

Sandoko doesn't know much about football, but he knows business.

He is very clear about the commercial value of Arsenal's thighs. If this transfer is completed, it will definitely be of great help to increase the commercial value of Manchester United.

Just like his push to sign Pogba back, it directly drives the club's share of advertising revenue and broadcast revenue.

With this level of improvement, the investment in transfer fees can be earned back quickly.

But after hearing Woodward's words, Mourinho did not respond.

He thought again and again and asked in a low voice: "Ed, tell me the truth, have you already studied this transfer?" "This..." Woodward was speechless for a moment, but he still answered honestly. , "Yes, we have been tracking his situation, and we have been considering it since Guardiola made the bid. If Arsenal had agreed at that time, we might have directly followed the price and suppressed Manchester City."

"But haven't you considered my needs, the team's needs?"

"Is there anything special to consider? Is Sanchez not good enough? Is he not worthy of Manchester United? I think he is more useful than Lukaku. Is there any problem in buying him?"

"He is not in line with my tactical requirements."

Hearing Mourinho's words, Woodward was obviously unhappy: "Jose, you have character, I like it very much. After all, good people have character. But it's not good to be too picky. Sanchez is on your list. Compared with other players, what's the difference? I even think it's better! And poaching him directly weakened the strength of his competitors! And he only has half a year of contract left. When the renewal fails, Arsenal Na must hope to sell him this winter, and the transfer fee is not high, so it will definitely be easy to handle! And his joining is also a good thing for the club’s business practices! It’s a good thing to kill four birds with one stone, why don’t you do it?”

Woodward's words were fine, but Mourinho was speechless for a while.

After all, Woodward can't explain the team's tactical arrangements clearly.

And Mourinho also understands that it is too difficult to buy the right person this winter.

Sanchez cannot be said to be a bad signing.

"Well, I still hope you can help me talk about the forwards on the list. I want them more. If not, then consider your suggestions..."

"That's right! Let's do it. I'll tell you the result! Sanchez is just my lower limit. The best is for me to buy the forwards on your list. The worst is for me to bring Sanchez to you. In the second half Don’t worry about it this season!”

After hanging up the phone, Woodward sneered.

Don't worry, I won't think about anyone else.

After struggling for half a season, I will definitely dig Sanchez over.

Waiting to use the Chilean striker!

Mourinho also hung up the phone and sighed softly.

How could he not know what Woodward was thinking?

It must be Sanchez.

Mourinho has two considerations in not wanting Sanchez to join the team.

First, Sanchez's style of play is too unique. This type of forward is not what his tactics require.

He wants someone like Drogba, and he likes forwards such as Diego Milito and Benzema.

That's why he was interested in Lukaku and Morata this summer.

Sanchez demands too much for the ball, which will inevitably affect the team's offensive efficiency.

In Mourinho's tactics, the main ball possession must be placed in the midfield.

In the past, he had Lampard and Sneijder, but now he has Xia Xing, or maybe Pogba.

The midfielder controls the ball and the team has a better view of the overall situation.

If Sanchez joins the team, it will be difficult for him to change his playing style.

After all, he is a world-class star invited at a high price, the former Arsenal thigh.

Once it is not handled well, it will definitely affect the team's tactics.

Second, what about Sanchez’s salary?
Now Manchester United's salary is inflated, and Pogba's high salary makes it difficult for Mourinho.

Sanchez wants a weekly salary of 40 pounds at Arsenal, which is impossible at Manchester United.

If Woodward gives him this price, what about the other Manchester United players?
Pogba must be the first to make a fuss.

And Xia Xing, even if he didn't take the initiative, Mendes would talk to me about it.

Also, Lukaku and De Gea are the absolute main players of the team. Do they all need a salary increase?
If this matter is not handled well in the end, it will definitely cause an explosion in the locker room...

But without Sanchez, where can I find a striker of this caliber this winter?

Mourinho is really in a dilemma now... (End of chapter)
