Alexis Sanchez is hopeful that Inter will turn his stay at the club into a permanent one next Summer according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

The Chilean joined Inter in the final days of the Summer transfer market on a dry loan from Premier League outfit Manchester United and despite not even playing a minute for the Nerazzurri, he is convinced that he wishes to continue his career with the club past next Summer.

The 30-year-old has arrived at Inter off the back of a nightmare spell at United where he looked a shadow of the player he was at Arsenal, where he was arguably one of the best players in the league.

He was an unused substitute in Inter’s 2-1 away victory over Cagliari and could well make his first appearance for the club in this weekend’s match at home to his former employers Udinese, who he represented between 2008-2011.
