City step up Sanchez bid

MANCHESTER CITY will make a last-ditch bid today to capture Chilean wonder boy Alexis Sanchez from Udinese.

The Eastlands top brass are refusing to concede that Sanchez, 22, has his heart set on a £35million move to European champions Barcelona.

Reports from Chile last night suggested the winger was ready to fly out to Spain for a medical and sign a five-year deal worth around £90,000 a week.

The Catalans will cough up a £25m down-payment with another £10m linked to results. But City are prepared to offer far bigger wages.

Sanchez has also been tracked by Manchester United who were confident last week of clinching a £27m deal with Serie A Udinese.  But the lure of playing alongside Leo Messi and Co may prove overwhelming.
