Alexis Sanchez is seriously threatening Lautaro Martinez’s place in the starting line-up according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 31-year-old, who is on loan from Manchester United, has made two promising appearances off of the substitutes bench and may even be handed a start in place of the Argentine in this evening’s encounter at home to Serie A.

The report from the Milan based news outlet goes on to state that Inter could end up having to do without the Chilean in the Europa League.

In order for him to stay with Inter for the Europa League, Inter will have to reach an agreement with Manchester United but it will be far from straightforward as Manchester United are in the Europa League and could well end up facing Inter and Sanchez in the competition.

It also adds that it is not quite as difficult to imagine Victor Moses remaining with Inter for the Europa League, due to the fact Chelsea are not in the competition but an agreement will still have to be reached between the clubs.
