The Liverpool Echo reports that Liverpool FC have been forced to admit defeat in their attempts to sign Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez. The Reds held talks with the talented Chile international and hoped he would agree to be a makeweight in the Luis Suarez deal. However, Anfield officials have been unable to convince Sanchez to make the move to Merseyside and they are resigned to the 25-year-old joining Premier League rivals Arsenal instead. Both clubs were willing to match Barcelona’s valuation of around £30million so it came down to the player’s preference. Sanchez asked for time to consider his options over the weekend and his representativeshave now informed Liverpool that he is likely to join the Gunners. They cited the desire of Sanchezs family to live in the capital as key to his decision.
