A straight swap could prove more appealing to the Frenchman, who would then have extra cash to play with.

Bayern Munich are also interested in Sanchez and could be a more appealing option for the Gunners to sell to considering the lack of domestic rivalry.

Aguero scored 33 goals in all competitions while Sanchez bagged 30 – though netted more in the Premier League.
