After months of speculation, Sky Sports has reported that Alexis Sanchez is set to sign for Inter Milan on a free-transfer after the Chilean agreed to terminate his contract with Manchester United. The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker will reportedly sign a three-year deal with the Nerazzurri.

Despite spending the season with Inter Milan, Alexis Sanchezā€™s future was still up in the air with the Chilean reportedly unwilling to leave his Ā£560,000-a-week contract with Manchester United. The deal has become a financial burden on the Red Devils, so much so that the club have paid half of the strikerā€™s salary to let him play out on loan in Italy. However, that may have come to an end as Sky Sports has reported that Sanchez is set to terminate his contract with United and sign a permanent one with Inter Milan.

Although itā€™s unclear as to how much United have paid the Chilean to do that, the report further added that Sanchez will sign a three year deal with the Nerazzurri having impressed Antonio Conte. The Italian has been keen on signing the former Barcelona star since his time with Chelsea in England and has offered him ā‚¬7 million a season to help ease the burden. The report also revealed that since Sanchez has agreed to terminate his contract with the Red Devils, it helps Inter save nearly ā‚¬60 million on transfer fees and wages.

However, while this deal will only be confirmed once Inter Milanā€™s season is officially over, the Nerazzurri have registered Sanchez for the latter stages of the Europa League. While reports indicated that Sanchez was set to return to Old Trafford after Interā€™s game against Getafe in the round of 16, neither United nor Sanchez wanted that to happen. But if the deal does take place, it frees up space in the Red Devilsā€™ wage budget for their big money move for Jadon Sancho which has incentivised both parties.
