Inter could allow forward Alexis Sanchez to depart in January, and would stand to financially benefit from his departure.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that the club would not only save on the Chilean’s substantial wages, but that his departure would also not represent a capital loss.

Sanchez has been linked with an exit from the Nerazzurri during the January transfer window after a social media outburst in which he appeared to indicate that he is not receiving enough playing time at the Nerazzurri.

Should the player want to leave in search of more playing time, the club would not necessarily stand in his way, as they would save on his €7 million net wages on the final year of his contract.

Meanwhile, given that the 32-year-old arrived from Manchester United on a free transfer, his exit would not represent a capital loss for the Nerazzurri, while they would also not miss out on the benefits of the Growth Decree given that he has now been at the club for more than two years.
