Robert Pires has revealed that Alexis Sanchez isn’t bothered about his contract and only wants to play.
Sanchez, who will be out of contract in 2018, is yet to sign on the dotted line. There have been offers from the club but the Chilean has been demanding an exorbitant hike in his current wage.
Sanchez has been crucial to Arsenal’s run this season. The forward is right now the joint top scorer alongside Diego Costa with 15 goals in the Premier League. Pires who was a part of the “Invincibles” had a chat with the player and reveals that the ex-Barcelona forward only wants to concentrate on football.
He said, “I asked Alexis last week about his renewal. He told me that he didn’t know, that he only wants to play.
He doesn’t know what is going to happen, he just wants to play and enjoy it.
All we want is for Alexis to stay at Arsenal. I hope he re-signs because he is a wonderful player, the engine of the car. I hope he stays forever.
“I see him in training every day. He’s stronger and more powerful. He’s more mature. The way he trains is impressive and he never wants to stop. Wenger and I have told him to take it easy, but he says that if he is on the field, it’s to train.”
