Manchester United's deal for Alexis Sanchez could reach a staggering £180 MILLION.
The Independent says the Arsenal forward has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract and is now waiting to find out whether Henrikh Mkhitaryan will agree to go in the other direction, which would trigger his move to Old Trafford.
Sanchez, 29, would be paid £14 million a year after tax - just under £27 million before tax - at United. Those payments would come on top of his £30 million value, £20 million signing-on fee and a £10 million agent's fee.
That all adds up to around £180 million for a player who had entered the final six months of his Arsenal contract and goes some way to explaining why Manchester City walked away from negotiations this month.
Sanchez is now hoping that Mkhitaryan will quickly reach an agreement with Arsenal, although the Armenian wants to become the highest earner at the Emirates.
