Inter and Premier League outfit Manchester United are edging closer to finding an agreement over the transfer of Chilean international striker Alexis Sanchez, Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia’s transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports.

According to the report, new discussions between the two clubs have taken place regarding how much of the former Arsenal and Barcelona player’s mammoth wages should be paid by whom. Sanchez currently earns €12 million net per season at Manchester United, who want Inter to agree to paying a majority of the Chilean’s wages, given that the Reds are not asking for any loan fee.

Inter, on the other hand, have according to Di Marzio, agreed to paying more than the initial €3 million, but do not want to pay more than €5 million net per season, raising their initial offer by almost €2 million.

The clubs have agreed to resume talks again early next week, most likely after Inter’s Serie A opener against Lecce which is scheduled to be played this Monday night at 20.45 CET.
