[SIZE="4"]Manchester City strike £24m deal for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez[/SIZE]

Mar 27 2011 by Alan Nixon, The People

Manchester CITY supremo Garry Cook is ready to fly out to sign Udinese’s Chilean star Alexis Sanchez in a £24million deal.

Money man Cook has been given the green light to close the transfer after negotiator Brian Marwood teed up the transfer for the exciting South American attacker.

While boss Roberto Mancini and Marwood are at odds over summer transfer plans, Sanchez is one player all of the City hierarchy agree upon – and they want to sign him whether Mancini stays or not.

Udinese will sell to the highest bidder and City plan to wipe out rivals Inter Milan in the chase. They also have the financial clout to scare off Chelsea or Manchester United.

The swoop – revealed by People Sport last week – has moved on at a pace. Sanchez’s agents are happy to talk to City and a summit is being set up during the international break.

Sanchez played for Chile in Portugal last night and agreement could be in the bag by the time they face Colombia on Tuesday.

A source close to the deal said: “City are determined to get their man. If it comes down to money they look like winning the race hands down.”

Cook has to persuade Sanchez to come to Eastlands whether City qualify for the Champions League or not.

Lot of hype surrounding this guy, hope he's as good as everyone makes out. Proper old school winger I think - Edin must be licking his lips.

What is it with us and signing people for £24m?

I have been following this prospect for some time. Since 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup (which Canada hosted). He did well in the World Cup last summer. He's a great talent, very skillful, we really need him IMO. I really hope the deal goes through before any other team gets the chance to buy him.

Good point. Not really a proper old school winger, more like Robben, Nani...

He's certainly looked good in an entertaining, attacking Udinese side. Dunno if he'll look good in our shitbox of a team

I really think so. But, sadly I think we will see the end of SWP :(.

Meh. Sad because he was once so good, but he's nowhere near good enough for a team at the top of the table anymore.

I'd like to see him go to another team and do well though. I do wonder if it's just us breaking these players sometimes

I think he would do a great job in a Fulham side, or even Everton.

Yep, I dunno about great but I think he'd be far better with a consistent run of games. Unfortunately, we're not in a position to afford him that.

Yup, we're so one paced it's untrue. It seems perverse for such an expensive squad. It's invaluable in the Premiership init.
