Forward Alexis Sanchez is closer than ever to leaving Inter to join Marseille.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the Chilean is one step away from making the move which will finally bring his time at the Nerazzurri to an end.

Sanchez looks to be satisfied with Marseille as a destination, as he has always been clear on his desire to continue playing at a high level and has rejected a number of clubs outside of Europe’s elite.

The Ligue 1 side can offer the 33-year-old continued participation in the Champions League, whilst he has been convinced by the sporting project under coach Igor Tudor.

Things are not yet officially done, but the player is ready to make the move, Marseille are expecting to get it wrapped up in the coming days, and there is a full agreement on the terms of his departure from Inter.
