Alexis Sanchez was left furious with Arsenal after they failed to sanction his move to Manchester City and never wants to play for the club again, reports Goal.
The Chile international is currently in South America on international duty but was expected to complete a stunning £60m move to City on deadline day.
Pep Guardiola’s side were just waiting for Arsenal to secure a replacement for Sanchez but the Gunners never did and Sanchez’s proposed move to the Etihad collapsed.
City are reportedly incensed by the way Arsenal dealt with the situation after intimating that a deal would happen on Thursday morning, while Arsene Wenger now has to try and get Sanchez back on side until January at least.
It’s unlikely that Sanchez will actually go on strike but Arsenal have a lot of damage control ahead of them in what will be a testing few months for the club, while City have promised Sanchez to return with another offer in the January transfer market.
Sanchez made his first appearance of the season for Arsenal in their humiliating 4-0 defeat against Liverpool last weekend. The 28-year-old was the only player that registered double figures for goals and assists in the Premier League last term.
