The future of Alexis Sanchez is not at all clear. The Chilean striker arrived in the winter of last season at Old Trafford with the aim of making history as a Red Devil. The club made him the highest paid in the Premier League ... but he did not deliver and rumours are already talking about a possible dismissal, among other things, for the amount of money it costs to maintain him.
Last Thursday, 'The Sun' published in its daily edition that Manchester United are seriously considering dismissing Alexis Sanchez (despite the compensation that this would entail) if a good offer for him does not materialise over summer.
The team wants to get rid of the Chilean footballer at all costs, who became the highest paid footballer in the Premier League and has only scored five goals in the 43 games he has played.
In addition to his salary, which is around 25 million euros a year, there is a premium in his contract. Thanks to the contract, 75,000 pounds is pocketed each time he plays a match.
According to 'The Sun', it doesn't matter if the player is a starter or a substitute. If he goes out on the pitch, he receives that bonus. In fact, the British midfielder uses his participation against Manchester City as an example: he played only 12 minutes, touched the ball once... and took home 75,000 pounds.
Bearing in mind that Alexis Sanchez, since his arrival, has played a total of 43 games, the amount received thanks to his contract amounts to 3.69 million ... which, without doubt, is an incentive for Old Trafford to get rid of him.
