Alexis Sanchez in demand but focused - Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi

Chile boss Juan Antonio Pizzi says Alexis Sanchez remains happy and focused at the Confederations Cup despite questions over his future.

Arsenal forward Sanchez, 28, has one year remaining on his current contract and has been linked with a number of top clubs, including Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Pizzi said any top club would like to sign Sanchez, but the forward remains focused on Chile as they head into Wednesday's Confederations Cup semifinal with Portugal.

"We think he's very happy," Pizzi said. "He's giving his best like everyone else. Everybody would like to be at the best clubs in the world, he is already at one, and everyone wants to have him in the squad.

"He's very focused and he knows exactly what he has to do. We will see what happens in the future. Right now he feels very comfortable and he's committed to the national team."

Sanchez has contributed one goal and one assist in his three appearances for Chile at the tournament in Russia so far.
