City are desperate to land the 28-year-old before the transfer window closes on Thursday night and are willing to add Raheem Sterling as part of the deal.

Sanchez himself is determined to get his preferred move to the Etihad Stadium, as he is eager to be reunited with his former Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola.

It is currently unclear if the player has been granted permission to leave training with the national side, who face Paraguay in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday.

Gunners boss Arsene has always maintained that Sanchez is not for sale, even with one year left on his current contract.
