Asked by UK media about 28-year old Chilean star winger/forward Alexis Sanchez's destiny, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger stated: "That is a continuation of what I said at the end of the season. That's what we will do. He adds great value to the squad and I think as well he is a great lover of the club. The players have contracts, and we expect them to respect their contracts. That's what we want.
Today, nobody knows if Sanchez will be on his final year of his contract next season, because he can extend his contract with us at the start of the season, or during the season. So it is not necessarily the last year of his contract at Arsenal Football Club". El Niño Maravilla is still tracked hard by Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Manchester City, and PSG.

Willing to leave AS Roma after three seasons and a half, Belgian international midfielder Radja Nainggolan (29) seems to have off-the-record declared himself open to start talks on an Inter Milan transfer of his. As done with Miralem Pjanic last season, Giallorossi might end up agreeing trading a star of his to a Serie A rival. The request set on former Cagliari player amounts to 50 million euros.

Gotze has returned to training after recovering from a metabolic disorder that has kept the 25-year-old out of action since February.
Dortmund are preparing to get their pre-season campaign under way against Rot-Weiss Essen but Gotze will not be considered for selection, Bosz said, as he readied himself to take charge of Dortmund for the first time.
"Mario was ill for a long time and didn't train for five months," Bosz said. "I'm not going to bring him in yet, it's too early. You have to be careful with these things."
After facing Rot-Weiss Essen, Dortmund will head out to Asia to play games against Urawa Reds and AC Milan and Dortmund's director of football Michael Zorc believes Gotze's return to action will not be too far away.
"We're very happy that Mario is back with us," said Zorc. "The first impressions are great; his scores look very good.
"We shouldn't expect too much, too soon. It was a tough time for him, but the first impressions have been great. We're hopeful for the coming months."
Dortmund will be without Raphael Guerreiro for up to four months due to the left-back requiring surgery on a broken foot sustained at the Confederations Cup and Zorc hit out at the Portuguese FA over their handling of the situation.
"The injury hits us hard. Raphael brings a lot of quality to the team," Zorc said. "We were surprised when we conducted our own examinations and took a close look.
"The results that we obtained were completely different from the statements that we received from the Portuguese medical team. It was so clear that he would need to have surgery."

The 28-year-old moved to the Emirates Stadium last year from Depor for a reported €20million but he has struggled to force his way into manager Arsene Wenger's plans.
Perez was left off Arsenal's squad for their pre-season tour of Australia and China, prompting speculation of a move away from the club, with the player said to be eager for regular first-team football to bolster his chances of making Spain's World Cup squad next year.
However, Depor president Tino Fernandez says he has been told by the Gunners that they are not interested in a sale.
"Lucas is at a great club who made a big financial effort for him, there's a high level there and also the desire of the club is not to look for an exit," he said on Monday.
"We've spoken to Arsenal, we were interested and we informed them of that, although it's true that that was days ago and other things have happened since then, like the fact that he will not be with the team for a few games."
He added that "the possibilities are remote" that Perez will return to the Riazor.
