Euro Paper Talk: Sanchez to take huge pay cut as transfer talks progress

Alexis Sanchez could find sanctuary with a LaLiga giant, with transfer talks making steady progress, while Liverpool have been tipped for a huge €105m double raid, according to Tuesday’s European papers.

SEVILLA HOLD TALKS OVER DEAL FOR ALEXIS SANCHEZ

Alexis Sanchez’s agent has held talks over a move to Sevilla with the club’s director of football Monchi, according to reports in Spain.

The former Barcelona star has had a torrid time at Manchester United since joining the club from Arsenal in January 2018 – but it seemed his enormous salary would make it extremely difficult to offload him this summer.

But according to Don Balon, talks between Sanchez’s agent and Monchi have taken place as the Andalucian club look at ways in which they can finance his huge wages.

However, the Spanish outlet reports that the Chilean will have to accept a massively-reduced pay-cut to move to the LaLiga giants.

While details at this time are sketchy over what fee they would have to pay United, it’s been reported in the past that the Red Devils would allow Sanchez to move on a loan arrangement should any club show willing to take on his enormous wages.

And with talks over a deal with Sevilla ongoing, the LaLiga giants could well provide a sanctuary for the player as he looks to rebuild his career and reputation at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
