Bayern Munich is expected to pick up their pursuit of Alexis Sanchez despite the firing of Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti wanted Bayern to sign Sanchez in the summer but they instead brought in James Rodriguez. Sanchez was widely expected to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, but Arsenal resisted selling him.

Robert Lewandowski's recent hamstring strain, which comes with Thomas Muller also out through injury, has refocused Bayern's attention on Sanchez.

Sanchez will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season.
