Express: Guardiola wants Alexis Sanchez to join him at Man City

The former Barcelona boss wants a reunion with the Chilean in Manchester, say the Sunday Express

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has become an objective for other Premier League clubs. Several English sides are watching on as the Chilean talks with Arsenal about a new deal. 

One of those watching is reported to be Pep Guardiola's Manchester City -- the Catalan coach previously worked with Alexis during his time at Barcelona. 

According to the Sunday Express, City, at Pep's request, are ready to make a move for the 27-year-old. 

Alexis' current deal expires in 2018 and the Gunners are keen to renew those terms. However, his wage requests are apparently higher than what the English club anticipated. 

The former Barça man is asking for 200,000 pounds a week, which would make him the top earner at the London club. 

Juventus are also thought to be monitoring the situation, although there's unlikely to be any movement in the January window.
