Sanchez would be an excellent addition for Bayern
Munich amid suggestions the Bundesliga
champions are pondering a swoop for the Chile
international.
Sanchez's contract with Arsenal expires in June
2018 and talks over a new deal have been put on
hold until the end of the season after both parties
failed to reach an agreement.
Arsene Wenger remains hopeful Sanchez will stay
at Emirates Stadium, but clubs such as Bayern,
Manchester City and Chelsea are
reportedly keeping a close eye on the 28-year-
old's situation.
"Sanchez is a great player, he would be a good
signing for Bayern," Matthaus told AZ.
"His biggest pro is that he can play in a central
role up front and on the wings.
"He would not only be an alternative to Franck
Ribery and Arjen Robben, but could also replace
Robert Lewandowski as Bayern's number
nine whenever he is unavailable."
The potential arrival of Sanchez would be bad news
for Douglas Costa, but Matthaus is not convinced
the Brazil international has what it takes to play for
Bayern following a string of underwhelming
performances this campaign.
"Costa is no longer the player he was when he just
started at Bayern," he added.
"Plus I do not like it that he has been hinting at a
transfer in a number of interviews. That is not good
for him, nor for Bayern.
"I think the club would not stop him from leaving if
they bring in another attacker."
