Alexis Sanchez is urging his agent to reach an agreement with Manchester United over a loan move to Inter, according to FcInterNews.it.
United want Inter to pay for their initial loan deal and provide a greater contribution to the forward’s wages, with the Nerazzurri only prepared to spent €4 million for now.
All parties involved remain confident a deal will eventually be agreed, though, albeit everyone is still trying to obtain the most favourable conditions possible.
“Sanchez can’t wait to join Inter and is peppering his friend and teammate Matteo Darmian with questions about Milan and about where it would be best to live,” the report read.
“This is merely another clear sign of how Alexis is looking forward to come back to Italy and already considers himself an Interista.”
Sanchez is hoping to arrive in Milan as soon as possible, but he will face a difficult choice over his shirt number if and when he does.
Mauro Icardi occupies his preferred no. 7 shirt, as confirmed officially by Inter earlier today, while Federico Dimarco is wearing the no. 11 shirt he uses for Chile.
Neither player are yet guaranteed to stay at the club and Sanchez would simply take whichever number becomes free if one of them leaves.
But El Nino Maravilla cannot afford to think about such issues until he gets his wish of moving to San Siro.
