PEP GUARDIOLA will go all out for Alexis Sanchez as he looks to continue his record-breaking spree.
The Manchester City boss finalised the signing of Benjamin Mendy for £49.3millionyesterday. The club have bought six players this summer for £217.8m — beating Real Madrid’s 2009 high, with the transfer window open for another FIVE WEEKS.
They have been encouraged by the failure of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain to land Arsenal’s Chilean star.
And they remain hopeful the fact Sanchez, who has 12 months left on his Emirates deal, wants to play for Guardiola again can be a key factor.
City rate former Barcelona hitman Sanchez in the £50m bracket. And they also retain an interest in Monaco’s £120m-rated Kylian Mbappe.
Guardiola, with the City squad in Los Angeles, is said to be ‘delighted’ by the way the club’s transfer brokers have leapt into action this summer. Mendy, at £49.3m, is their biggest buy — while Monaco pal Bernardo Silva cost £43m.
Right-back pair Kyle Walker, at £50m, and Danilo, £26.5m, have weighed in.
Then Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson cost £34.9m and Samba midfielder Douglas Luiz was bought in a £14.1m deal.
City held off late interest from Chelsea to complete the signing of French international full-back Mendy from Monaco.
