Sanchez's future depending on Fabregas?

Manchester City may have no chance of signing Cesc Fabregas yet their pursuit of Alexis Sanchez is having serious ramifications on the Arsenal captain's future. 

Udinese star Sanchez is the continent's most in-demand player with City rivalling Manchester United and Barcelona - the winger's preferred destination - for his signature. If Barcelona want to beat City to the player, they will have to eat into their fund for Fabregas.

Despite saying earlier this week that a deal with the Catalan club was '80 per cent' done, Udinese president Gianpaolo Pozzo is now playing hardball with Barca over the fee after City upped the stakes with a superior bid.
