Inter hope to be able to extend the loan of Alexis Sanchez by another season according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, which was aired late last night.

The Chilean national team player joined the Nerazzurri club on a season long loan this past Summer from Manchester United and the two clubs are currently in talks over extending the loan deal until the end of this season.

The report goes on to explain that Inter are exploring the possibility of taking him on loan next season too but there are obvious financial obstacles to this, namely his bumper €12 million a year wages.

Despite the above obstacle, the report concludes that a loan extension cannot be considered impossible.

Whilst on loan at Inter, the former Barcelona and Arsenal attacker has made 16 appearances across all competitions to date. During his time on the park, he has scored one goal and has provided three assists for his teammates.
