Arsenal duo Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are each reportedly requesting a whopping £250,000 per week to sign a new contract with the club.
According to Matt Hughes of the Times (h/t Jack de Menezes of The Independent), their demands have been inflated as the result of the Brexit referendum in June, which saw the United Kingdom vote to leave the European Union, and the economic consequences.
“When talks originally began last October, the pound was valued at €1.38, while its post-Brexit vote value has reduced to €1.13,” De Menezes said.
