Since the resumption of footballing action, Alexis Sanchez has performed well for Inter Milan.
After a disastrous spell with at Manchester United, Alexis Sanchez was desperate to resurrect his career, with or without the Red Devils. To end his misery, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sanctioned a loan departure for the Chilean, despite being short of attacking options after failing to replace Romelu Lukaku in the transfer market.
The 31-year-old sealed a move to Inter Milan where he reunited with Romelu Lukaku, who happened to be one of the best mates of Sanchez in the United dressing room. However, former Arsenal man was struck with another injury issue when he damaged his left ankle which required surgery.
Despite Sanchez’s inconsistent game time due to a lengthy fitness problem, Antonio Conte entrusted the player to come good for the Nerazzurri, having revered the player since his coaching stint with Chelsea.
Putting his injury issues behind, finally, Alexis Sanchez started working on his match rhythm and gained a prominent role in Inter’s forward line featuring Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez.

Given that the move is working out well for Sanchez and his parent club, both parties are eager to part ways. In our previous report, we explained how Inter Milan was trying to sign the Chile international on a permanent basis.
On similar lines, Alexis Sanchez is also playing his part in this deal with his entourage expressing their desire to convert the loan deal into a transfer.
"Sánchez is determined to stay too and ‘has the goal of continuing to play in Milan’, having made it clear he ‘does not intend’ to return to Manchester United.Sánchez’s agent, Fernando Felicevich, is ‘studying the situation’ to try and find a solution that will leave his client happy.

Manchester United are not willing to stand in Sanchez’s way and are prepared to reach consensus with Inter Milan. The English club has put an asking price of 20 million euros on the player.
Before this story, it was understood that Inter Milan was preparing a bid in the region of the aforementioned price.
The only sticking point of this transfer is Sanchez’s exorbitant salary – believed to be around 12 million Euros. As per the latest developments, the Italian club is ready to structure the wage bill in instalments to mitigate the immediate impact on their accounts.
