		</div><p>Arsenal will not sell Alexis Sanchez this summer, according to manager Arsene Wenger.</p>
<p>Sanchez last week stated his desire to play in the Champions League and hinted his mind was made up to leave the Gunners.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old only has one year left on his contract, giving Arsenal a dilemma whether to cash in on the player or potentially see him leave for free next summer.</p>
<p>Wenger, speaking ahead of tomorrow&#8217;s friendly against Bayern Munich in China, told reporters: <i>&#8220;The decision has been made and we will stick to that.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Asked what the decision was, Wenger added: <i>&#8220;The decision is not to sell.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Sanchez is attracting interest from the likes of Manchester City and Bayern and when questioned last week, appeared to suggest his future lay elsewhere.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I&#8217;ve already taken my decision, but now I depend on Arsenal and to see what they want,&#8221;</i> Sanchez told Canal 13 in Chile.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;My idea is to play in and win the Champions League. It&#8217;s a dream that I&#8217;ve had since I was small. For now I&#8217;m at Arsenal and my contract finishes in another year.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Wenger insisted he did not attach much significance to his star player&#8217;s comments.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I do not give too much importance to things that are translated,&#8221;</i> Wenger said.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;The whole interview, which I got, did not really mean that [he only wants Champions League football]. The main focus for us is on the Premier League, that for me is more important than the Champions League.</p>
<p>&#8220;We sometimes rested players in the group stage of the Champions League for the Premier League, so that has become the biggest importance for us.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have played 20 years in the Champions League, 17 years before Alexis arrived and three years with him &#8211; he can get us back in there.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Arsenal have already made a statement of intent this summer by signing France forward Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon for a club-record fee.</p>
<p>Wenger said the eye-watering sums being spent in the transfer market come from selling clubs demanding large figures from Premier League teams.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;For the amount of money that the Premier League spends, it&#8217;s linked with the fact that when people know that you have money, they want a lot from you,&#8221;</i> Wenger said.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;That&#8217;s just a fact and the consequence of the Premier League being rich. That explains the (transfer fees).&#8221;</i></p>
