Why Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez Would Be a Great Signing for Bayern Munich

Typically, it’s the press that creates transfer rumors as reporters uncover what is going on behind the scenes at clubs. Last week, Arturo Vidal made a transfer rumor of his own as he urged Bayern Munich to sign his Chilean compatriot, Alexis Sanchez, from Arsenal.

The hard-nosed defensive midfielder is very familiar with Sanchez, and told reporters, per the Daily Mail: “We’ve played together since the Under-20 international team, so it would be nice to play with him.” 

In all likelihood, Vidal is not informed as to whether Bayern have any interest in Sanchez at all. But the fact he did mention the Arsenal man is food for thought for many fans of the Bavarian club.

The former Barcelona winger has just two years left on his contract, and after another disappointing season from Arsenal in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, he might be tempted to seek a change of scenery. In that case, Bayern would be a good fit for the player, and Sanchez could bring a lot to the club.

Right now, Bayern’s long-term winger situation is still not 100 percent certain. Thomas Muller, perhaps expectedly, has reasserted himself this season as a central player behind Robert Lewandowski. Out wide, Franck Ribery is 33 years of age and Arjen Robben 32. Both are injury-prone and will need to be replaced sooner or later.
