Eds,

There are rumours in Spain that City will sign Alexis Sánchez soon. Is there any truth that it's happening? I know he was a target for them but I thought it was PSG where he would go. Can you offer any information?

Thank you :)

{Ed002's Note - There have been talks between his representatives and Manchester City, PSG (who have taken another route) and Bayern Munich.}

Surely City don't have space in their squad for Sanchez unless Sterling or Silva is leaving ed?

{Ed001's Note - Sterling is not seen as good enough by Pep. He doesn't have to move on to be supplanted as first choice and Pep likes to rotate anyway.}

I'd assumed that Sterling had been supplanted by Bernardo Silva tbh. With the new lineup being:
B. Silva KDB Sané
Aguero/ Jesus.

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, but Pep likes rotation options.}

Not sure Sanchez is a big fan of any 'rotation policy' Ed001. Still think he will end up at Bayern myself. Imagine the strop Sanchez would throw if he got substituted in a big game or left on the bench altogether. There would be a war between him and Pep.

{Ed001's Note - agreed. I have never seen it as a likely move for him either.}
