Manchester City ready to give £30 million to get Alexis Sanchez

Manchester City is ready to spend £30 million on Alexis Sanchez this summer to replace their star striker Carlos Tevez.

City fears Tevez will leave at the end of the season with Inter Milan favourites to sign him.

They could hold out for £30 million themselves for Tevez, who has scored 51 goals in 82 appearances since leaving Manchester United.

And the deal to land Sanchez from Udinese is almost complete, The Sun reports.

The Chilean ace, 22, has been linked to Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool - but is keen to join City.

Sanchez has scored 12 goals in 29 league games this season to put Udinese on the brink of a Champions League place.
