Bayern Munich are preparing to make a club-record £50.8 million bid to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal this summer, according to reports in Germany.
The Bundesliga giants are increasing their attempts to sign Chilean forward Sanchez, whose contract with Arsenal expires in 2018.
Citing German source Bild in his report, Joe Short of the Daily Express said: "Bayern are aware that Sanchez will be in high demand this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain also keen on the former Barcelona ace."
Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti is said to already be planning how to best fit Sanchez in his team, with Short adding: "The Italian boss is said to have identified Sanchez as the perfect man to play off centre-forward Robert Lewandowski.
