Chelsea boss Antonio Conte discusses Alexis Sanchez move

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has been talking about wantaway Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez today and what happened when he made a move for the player.

The Chilean forward will leave Arsenal by the end of the current season and there has been much talk about who he will join.

Manchester City have been seen as the favourites for the past few months but now that looks to be switching.

Reports on Friday suggest Manchester United could be in the driver’s seat due to Man City’s deal for the player on the verge of collapse.

Though, one club that will not be joining the long list of teams looking to sign the player is Chelsea.

Antonio Conte has been talking about the quality that the player has and even revealed that the Italian tried to sign him while at Juventus.

“It is a good investment,” explained Conte in his press conference.

“We are talking about a top player and you can buy him for a price that is not so high.

“The amount is around £20million. Maybe a normal price for Alexis Sanchez is £80-90m.

“He’s a great player and he knows very well in my first season in Juventus we tried to buy him from Udinese and then he decided to go to Barcelona.
