Pep Guardiola was questioned about reported target Alexis Sanchez after his side’s 4-3 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

The Manchester City boss is a known admirer of the Arsenal star and has attempted to sign him this month after missing out in the summer, only for Manchester United‘s Jose Mourinho to swoop in ahead of him.

Guardiola has since appeared to have given up the chase of the 29-year-old who has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Old Trafford outfit.

“He’s an Arsenal player,” the Spaniard stated.

“We have the squad we have. I don’t know what’s going to happen in this transfer window.”

It’s believed that Arsenal and United are close to finalising a £30m transfer fee.
