Manchester City were reportedly ready to pay Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez a signing-on fee of £8 million had his move to the club gone through late in the summer window.
As noted by Paul Hetherington of the Daily Star Sunday, City were close to getting their man, though the transfer was scrapped when Arsenal were unable to secure a replacement for the Chile international.
Hetherington suggested that as well as the £8 million, Sanchez would have been paid a basic weekly salary of £275,000, with the potential for an extra £50,000 every week.
