Arsenal rejects Juventus’s £34m bid for Sanchez

Juventus have revealed Arsenal have rejected their £34million bid for Alexis Sanchez.

The Italian champions have stepped up their pursuit of the Chilean superstar by claiming that they have met a “reasonable” valuation put forward by the Gunners – only for their offer to be dismissed.

Juve sporting director Giuseppe Marotta told Chilean newspaper El Mercurio: “Sanchez is a great player, but Arsenal do not want to give him up.

“We informed the Gunners, who asked for £34m – surely a reasonable fee.

“However, when we responded to this request, Arsenal told us they will not sell the player.”

Juventus have already signed right-back Dani Alves on a free and midfielder Miralem Pjanic from Roma.

But they are seeking a replacement for striker Alvaro Morata following Real Madrid’s decision to exercise their option to buy him back for £23million.

Ironically, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is also interested in Morata but unwilling to meet Real Madrid’s £65million asking price.
