Inter and Roma are both at risk of losing players that they have on loan from English clubs according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.
Inter have Alexis Sanchez and Victor Moses on loan from Manchester United and Chelsea respectively whilst Roma have Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan on loan from Manchester United and Arsenal.
English clubs are against the idea of extending loan deals past the end of the domestic season and this could complicate matters for Inter and Roma, especially when it comes to the Europa League.
As things stand there is currently no international regulation regarding the extension of loans and it will ultimately come down to clubs reaching agreements with one another.
The report explains that English clubs are reluctant to allow the players out on loan to stay at clubs for the remainder of the Europa League as it could hamper their own chances of success.
It also goes on to explain that Alexis Sanchez’s situation is the most complex of all. He currently earns €12 million a year, of which Inter agreed to pay €5 million of for the duration of the loan.
Almost €5 million gross would be required to cover his wages for July and August, which is far more than Inter would have otherwise paid if the terms of the agreement remained the same.
Inter are therefore at risk of losing him which would mean they would have reduced options for the attack in the Europa League.
