Alexis Sanchez is tipped to return to Serie A this summer with Manchester United lining up a £90m replacement, while Tottenham are chasing Robin Koch, according to Thursday’s newspapers.
MAN UTD, INTER, JUVENTUS IN THREE-WAY PLAYER TRADE
Alexis Sanchez wants to end his Manchester United nightmare with a return to Italy this summer, according to reports.
The Chilean has failed to live up to expectations since arriving at Old Trafford in a high-profile swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and it’s no surprise to see United looking to offload him with his huge £425,000 a week – plus £75,000 appearance money – weighing heavy on the club.
And according to The Sun, Alexis could find salvation back in Italy with Inter Milan pondering a move for the former Arsenal and Barcelona star.
Sanchez made his name in the European game for Udinese, where he scored 21 times in 112 appearances before securing a move to Barca.
But it’s claimed Italy, after Arsenal, is where Sanchez has felt most comfortable and his agent is said to have held preliminary talks with Inter over a deal. Any deal, however, may need United to either pay the Chilean off – or heavily subsidize his wages via a loan package.
Inter are looking at Sanchez as a potential replacement for Mauro Icardi, who has had his own high-profile struggles with the San Siro side this season.
The Argentine could be heading to Juventus this summer as a replacement for Paulo Dybala; his countryman, apparently, says the Daily Star, having agreed to join Manchester United.
The Star even go as far to say that some United fans have welcomed Dybala to the club after it was claimed a deal worth an estimated £90m has been agreed ‘in principle’.
