Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez is reportedly in disagreement with his agent over when he should leave the club, with the player preferring an exit this summer.

Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has reportedly clashed with his agent over the timing of his proposed exit from the club.

Sanchez is currently in the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium and is understood to be desperate to leave this summer in order to play Champions League football next season.

The likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are thought to be leading the race for his signature, and the 28-year-old would be open to a move to either in search of silverware, having only claimed one major league title in his career so far.

Both offers are likely to be lucrative ones, but The Mirror claims that Sanchez's agent wants him to see out his contract at Arsenal and leave on a Bosman next summer, when the wages are expected to be even bigger.

Fernando Felicevich has reportedly advised the Chilean that he would have the pick of Europe's top clubs if he waited another year, in addition to being able to demand bigger wages due to the lack of a transfer fee.

However, Sanchez's preference remains to leave this summer despite Arsenal insisting that he is not for sale.
