Alexis Sanchez is demanding £500,000-a-week from PSG to leave Arsenal.
The Mirror says that is keeping alive Manchester City's hopes that they aren't going to be blown away by the French club for the second time this summer.
The Chilean has told PSG they will have to hand him the same kind of basic salary that Lionel Messi earns at Barcelona if he is going to leave England.
Arsenal insist that Sanchez is not for sale at any price – despite the fact he has less than 12 months left on his current deal.
And they would rather not hand their star player to another Premier League club – even for £50million.
