Chile legend Alexis Sanchez has landed in Milano to complete his return to Inter Milan. The 34-year-old had a previous three-year stint at the club.
The veteran plied his trade at the club between 2019 and 2022 before leaving as a free agent.
Last season, he enjoyed a successful campaign at Olympique Marseille. However, the French club opted against extending his stay.
But as fate would have it, OM indirectly helped Sanchez secure his anticipated return to the Nerazzurri.
The Ligue 1 club is about to sign Inter outcast Joaquin Correa on an onerous loan deal. This operation will free up space in Simone Inzaghi’s squad and also on the wage bill, allowing the club to reunite with the Chilean.
So according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Sanchez landed in Milano on Thursday. The source posted a video showing the player’s arrival.

Alexis Sanchez Has Arrived In Milano To Complete His Return To Inter Milan
The attacker has been holding out for a return to Appiano Gentile for weeks, rejecting all other offers.
As the source explains, Sanchez will collect three million euros as net wages per season. During his first spell at the club, he used to earn almost double.
The dynamic forward enjoyed a storied European career, beginning as a young prospect at Udinese. His early exploits earned him a dream move to Barcelona.
However, his most prolific spell was his time at Arsenal. He then endured a torrid stint at Manchester United, before signing for Inter in 2019.
