But the Mirror are reporting that moneybags PSG are ready to reignite their interest in Sanchez, 28, and make a move in the winter window.

City boss Pep Guardiola wants a reunion with the winger he managed at Barcelona but was willing to wait until the summer to get him for nothing.

And the report claims that only a flurry of injuries in the busy Christmas period would have seen them bid in January.

It also notes that Sanchez, despite making one appearance in the Europa League this season, would be eligible to play in the next phase of the Champions League.

And that could see Sanchez sway his decision to move before the summer and PSG could steal a deal.

The Mirror claim the Ligue 1 leaders have been in touch with Sanchez's representatives.

PSG also believe moving from London to the French capital could appeal to Sanchez rather than moving to the North West.

Arsenal look set to lose Sanchez this summer despite ongoing attempts to get him to sign a new contract.

City had a £60million deadline day bid rejected by the Gunners after their move for Monaco's Thomas Lemar fell through.

Mesut Ozil could also be leaving the Emirates on a free in the summer with his contract also expiring.

And Arsenal could be willing to sell Sanchez in January rather than let both of them leave on a free in the summer.
