Inter Milan would have to resort to the transfer market if Alexis Sanchez makes the jump to Saudi Arabia in January.
The Chilean made his return to the club for a second spell last summer after ending his collaboration with Olympique Marseille.
The 35-year-old has been serving as a backup for club captain Lautaro Martinez. However, some physical struggles have limited his playing time.
He’s currently suffering from a muscular strain that ruled him out of the last two fixtures against Lazio and Bologna.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona star has only made five Serie A appearances this season, only one as a starter. He’s yet to score a league goal since his return to the club, though he netted twice in the Champions League.
According to La Repubblica via FcInter1908, Sanchez has received some interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Inter Milan Would Search The Market For A New Striker If Alexis Sanchez Joins The Saudi Pro League
Therefore, the veteran could contemplate the chance to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Marcelo Brozovic, succumbing to financially enticing offers.
So if Sanchez were to make the jump to KSA in January, Inter would certainly turn to the market to find themselves an alternative.
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have emerged as Simone Inzaghi’s automatic first-choice duo in attack. But with Sanchez gone, this would leave Marko Arnautovic as the solitary alternative.
Moreover, the source doesn’t rule out the arrival of an attacking reinforcement even if Alexis remains at Appiano Gentile.
