Wenger Admits Chelsea, Man City, Real Madrid Linked Striker May Not Extend Arsenal Contract
Published: August 11, 2017
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has admitted that Chile forward Alexis Sanchez may walk away from the club as a free agent next summer.
Speculation over the future of the Gunners number seven has been rife in recent days, especially as Wenger announced that he will miss the start of the new season due to an abdominal strain.
''In the short term he will remain an Arsenal player. Now, will we manage to extend his contract?'' Wenger told SFR Sport.
''Whether we manage to get him to sign an extension or not - we have so far not been able to.
''On that level I am not super optimistic. We have the firm intention not to sell him.''
