Negotiations between Inter and Manchester United over a permanent deal for Alexis Sanchez are at an advanced stage according to a report from British news outlet The Manchester Evening News.
Sanchez is currently on loan at Inter from the Premier League club, with the Nerazzurri paying 75% of his weekly £400,000 (approximately €440,000) wages.
There was no purchase option as part of the loan deal just in case Sanchez increased his value with his performances whilst back in Serie A, where he had a previous spell with Udinese.
The report goes on to claim that Inter are confident about their chances of being able to land the Chilean national team star on a permanent basis.
The sale of Sanchez would enable United to accelerate their plans when it comes to moving for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho.
Whilst on loan at Inter, Sanchez has made 28 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored four goals and provided 10 assists for his teammates.
