Recent rumors emerged that Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez had gone unhappy after the team lost its first two games in this year's Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos FC and is said to be looking for a Holloway exit this January.
The Gunners were defeated by the Croatian club, 1-2, in their opener at the Stadion Maksimir last September 16 and then suffered another close loss this time against the Greek squad, 2-3, on September 29 at their home turf of Emirates Stadium.
Their next Champions League match will be against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on October 20, where they would likely lose a third straight after Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski, and the rest of the Bavarians routed both opponents with scores of 5-0 and 3-0 respectively.
Caught Offside noted that the 26-year-old Chile international, who signed with Arsene Wenger's crew last year from Spanish club Barcelona, had been an effective offensive weapon for the Gunners, but was demoralized by the club's inability to perform in international competitions.
Arsenal is currently doing well in the Premier League league as they only trail league leader Manchester City by two points so far after a fantastic 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
However, the Chilean winger seems to be not satisfied with domestic dominance and wants a CL title included in his résumé. There are no teams that are reportedly targeting Sánchez as of the moment.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror reported that the North London club is ready to offer a five-year, £130,000 weekly deal just to ensure his long term commitment to the squad.
Arsenal officials are pleased about the Tocopilla native's attitude which was displayed after he reported for the team's Premier League opener versus West Ham following Chile's win over Argentina in the final of this year's Copa America just a month and six days earlier.
