Paris Saint-Germain are increasingly confident

 of signing Alexis Sanchez after holding talks

 with the Arsenal forward in the French capital

 this week, according to reports.

The 28-year-old is keen on leaving Arsenal 

and sent a thinly-veiled message to the club

 last week by expressing his desire to play

 in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain are expected to meet 

Neymar’s £198million release clause this week

 but sporting director Antero Henrique has

 been left to focus on a deal for Sanchez,

 according to Goal.The Chilean has less than

 12 months to run on his existing deal at the

 Emirates and, though Wenger’s publicly 

insisted he’s not for sale, there is an acceptance

 from the Gunners that they can do little 

to prevent Sanchez’s departure if he pushes

 to leave.

Sanchez and his representative Fernando

 Felicevich are said to have met with the

 PSG hierarchy in Paris this week and

 the Ligue 1 giants are said to be 

confident of getting the deal done.

Though no deal is close to completition, 

PSG believe they can bag Sanchez for around

 £45m with add-ons, in what would be a sizeable

 coup for Unai Emery’s side.

Arsenal are likely to demand more for the 

Chile international but their hands could be 

tied if Sanchez pushes to leave the club in 

the dying stages of the window.

Wenger insisted the purchase of Alexandre

 Lacazette was to compliment Sanchez but 

it appears that the Chilean is yet to be 

convinced by the Frenchman’s 

plans at the club.
