I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an offer from the Chinese Super League with the way things are going.
Teams have no problem forking out extornioate amounts on transfer fees and wages and the latest man to be linked is Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez, along with teammate Mesut Ozil, is stalling on a contract at Arsenal, in what is worrying news for Gunners fans. The club hope to resolve matters and tie down their two key players to new deals, but Sanchez already has a massive offer on the table, according to The Sun.

Sanchez's fellow Chilean Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that he was keen on signing the former Udinese man at Manchester City before Financial Fair Play rules kicked in.
And Pellegrini, now manager of Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune are offering a fortune (no pun intended) for Sanchez - with massive wages of £500,000-a-week.
Pellegrini isn't short of big names in his squad already, with former Arsenal man Gervinho and ex-PSG winger Ezequiel Lavezzi on big bucks at the club.
The signing of Sanchez would complete quite the attack.

And the 63-year old has already urged his compatriot to join him at Hebei and continue the growth of the league.
He is as quoted as saying:
"If Alexis wants to come, we have a club for him right now. He can come to join us in China immediately. Step by step Alexis has led a career with a lot of intelligence.
"He started in South America, always playing for big clubs. After that he played in Italy, Spain and now in the Premier League, which is the most powerful in the world.

"Alexis has always done things the right way. Chinese football is growing every day and the interest in going there is increasing all the time. Maybe at this moment it is difficult to get elite players to leave Europe for China.
"But once they understand the environment and the great project that is building there I am sure many will come over."
