Di Marzio probably knew the news first from Inter, as most of his sources came from Italy. Probably Inter told him they're not signing Mikhi because he's going to Arsenal, then he asked some agents and knew the story.

Who would drop from the City XI for him. Let alone with Bernardo Silva etc too!
Whilst I’m firmly of the belief that Utd have contacted club/player, I also think that Sanchez’ mind is made up and he is preparing to join up with Pep. He may not be playing every game (doesn’t matter as Chile not in WC) but the promise of winning titles/cups will have much bigger sway then money.
Is he gonna be a guaranteed starter at city? Because he'd walk into our XI every single week.
That City shirt doesn't suit him as all. Red will look better.
Thanks, Monica.
Interesting, I hadn't really put much stock in the Mkhi part of the story as these part exchanges so rarely happen, it does explain why Di Marzio would be at the center of breaking the story though.
I think most United fans know that. Your fans have accepted being City's female dog, but just cannot get over the fact that RvP signed and won the title for United.
It will piss them off and that's a win in my book. I also think we'll offer more on wages, with all this talk of Zlatan leaving before March we'll decent budget for a big offer.
Convinced he's off to City.
However, there might be a slim chance he's upset they waited till the last couple of days in the transfer window to bid for him.
A bit like the De Gea situation.

I know.
£50m + Micky for Sanchez and Ozil. feck it!
Di Marzio reporting our interest + Sanchez not having signed for City yet + Mkhitaryan not going to Inter + Zlatan going to MLS = It’s happening #Sanchez7.
May as well chuck Wilshere in whilst we're at it.
I'm not buying it.
Too good to be true.

£40m + Micky for Sanchez, Ozil and Wheelchair
I found it interesting that Di Marzio said Mourinho contacted Wenger himself for the deal, very RVP-esqua here. 
Mkhi plus 25m for the two of them. Arsenal FanTV will be epic.
Not happening ladssssss. It could be the turn in the tide and Guardiola knows it.
Say a prayer and let's hope i'm wrong.

Even on his off day, he’s a class above Mkhi. He’d step in ahead of Rashford and could rotate with Lukaku if we need to rest the big guy.
IMO this is not happening. Why we are involved in this story too late? Have we suddenly realized that City want Sanchez so we decided to give it a go?
What I got from Di Marzio via google translate is that everything was agreed between Sanchez and City but we stepped in last minute with and offer which includes Mkhitaryan. Which Arsenal prefer. It’s whether we can convince Sanchez to join us now.
Seems to me that City will ask Sanchez to stay at Arsenal until the end of the season and get him on a free then. They’re already not willing to fork out what Arsenal want, so I can’t see them putting in a better offer than what we have.
I recon there is a decent chance Sanchez joins purely out of City’s unwillingness to stump up massive amount of money it would take to make their offer better than ours. And I also can not see Sanchez wanting to remain at Arsenal any second more than he has to. I think he burned all his bridges there, including with some of his teammates.

Would be a great signing but I'm not getting sucked into this one until it happens
I think he wants the move to City to be honest

It would be as funny as feck if Pep has to up the price.
Where would Sanchez even fit in City's 11? There's a void now that Jesus is out but what happens when he's fit? He was already first choice over Aguero centrally and Sane and Sterling have been 'undroppable' out wide based on form. Something has to give, at least here he would be a guaranteed starter.
Also Alexis is like 34 days older than Mkhitaryan and 10 times the player. If we can get it done I’d do nasty things to my pecker.
Aguero. Pep would play him in false9 position. Pep doesn't like classic strikers.
Let me know how it goes.
What happens when Jesus comes back?
Don't think it would be that big a deal. Maybe to the fans briefly, or longer considering the bitterness around. United Arsenal rivalry ain't what it was though, in my eyes.
I’ll post you DM with photos if you want?
He is better than Sane and Jesus is out maybe for up to six months, and he can play as a striker too. Pep wants him and will make sure he is a starter there and looks like Sanchez will choose City over us, couple of months and he will win the league there easily. If the rumors are true which I don't think then we might offer him a way better wages and offer Arsenal a real good deal.
The rapture.
Christianity will be proven to be true?
It’s not worth castration
Okay. Found a much better video (and deleted the other one) of his performances for Arsenal before this season. There has been a dip in form but I mean that’s more than likely due to uncertainty over his future and completely giving up on Arsenal as a club.
I’m 100% sure he’ll be firing on all cylinders again once he moves. Just hope it’s to us.
fecking hell im still a muppet at heart.
There’ll be more than one second coming
Is this straight player swap or it involves more fee from us?
It seems almost certain that we *would* be interested in him.
In fact, it’s very hard to think of a scenario where we wouldn’t be.
So that part is almost certainly true.
However, whether we made a move for him and whether he or his agent have indicated any openness to it remains to be seen.
