Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez is reportedly a target to European giants, Juventus and Atletico Madrid. Having joined the Gunners two summers ago, Sanchez has established himself as a crowd favourite but with the chance of winning silverware that matters unlikely at North London, the prospect of playing in some of Europe's top clubs might entice him.
Juventus have signed Juan Cuadrado on loan from Chelsea for the season but might feel the drive, desire, skill and sheer pace of Alexis Sanchez is a sure upgrade. With Sanchez also having experienced the Serie A – with Udinese, before he moved to Barcelona – the Turin club have all the right cards to ensure they can prise the Chilean away.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, have a gem in Antoine Greizmann but with a bunch of English and European clubs after the Frenchman, Sanchez would seem a perfect replacement. Once again, his experience in the Liga BBVA with Barcelona, will be of a massive boost for Diego Simeone's men.
Arsenal were widely expected to clinch the Premier League title this year after Chelsea and Manchester City had off seasons but have failed to capitalise in spectacular fashion even allowing their arch-rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, climb over them in the table with Leicester looking to complete the miracle.
Alexis Sanchez recently admitted he wasn't a fan of Arsenal teammates' mentality saying, "There are great players. I train with them daily and they have got the mentality and the desire to win but we lack hunger, the mentality that we are winning 1-0 when we go out on to the pitch.
"Sometimes we lack this hunger to believe that we can be champions – to go out on to the pitch feeling that we are winning 1-0. The other team doesn’t always win because it is superior. It is rather little details."
Juventus also targeting Arsenal's Olivier Giroud
According to Italian newspaper, Tuttosport, Juventus are interested in signing Frenchman Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman has been Arsenal's leading striker for the past four seasons but his hesitance to tuck away chances has often irked fans and critics.
Nonetheless, his stats prove he's one of the best in the business Arsenal have had but he could've been more given he has an unmatchable service with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott.
Juventus are reportedly ready to offer £20million and £25million to prise the former Montpellier man away from the Emirates.
