The future of Alexis Sánchez is uncertain. The Chilean forward has not made a decision whether to continue wearing the Arsenal jersey or move to another club in Europe for the 2017/18 season.

Bayern Munich was one of the most interested in signing him but the President of the Bavarian team, Uli Hoeness, stated in an interview with Kicker that the 'Wonder Boy' is not worth what he costs due to his age. "We cannot build a team spending 100 million for a 29-30-year-old forward," said Hoeness.

"I fully support what we are doing so far, Sule, Rudy, Gnabry, and Tolisso are players with great potential for the future," he added defending his transfer policy.

According to English media, Arsenal under Arsene Wenger would have asked for a figure of 60 million euros. That is why the Bundesliga champions have given up on signing Arturo Vidal's compatriot.

Alexis Sánchez will play with Chile in the final of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup against Germany on Sunday, July 2 at the Krestovskyi Stadium in St. Petersburg.

Alexis Sánchez scored 30 goals and provided 15 assists with Arsenal last season.
