According to Le Parisien, Sanchez's wage demands as well as a transfer fee are both still stumbling blocks.

And PSG are also keen on a world record move for Barcelona forward Neymar worth almost £200million.

SunSport revealed that Sanchez was in Paris this week holding talks with the French side.

The Arsenal star was at the five-star Royal Monceau Raffles to meet with PSG's sporting director Antero Henrique.

Senior sources in the French capital have confirmed to The Sun that Sanchez, 28, arrived by limousine at the £600-a-night hotel this afternoon.

Henrique was then spotted leaving the hotel later on Friday.

The source added: “His (Sanchez) business here is confidential, but we are very used to having superstar footballers staying.”

The Royal Monceau Raffles is close to the British Embassy in Paris and only a half-hour drive from the Parc des Princes.

Arsenal had hoped to persuade him to stay by offering a mega £275,000-a-week deal.

But Sanchez could rake in £500,000-a-week if PSG agree to his demands.
