Inter prepare Alexis medical

By Football Italia staff

Alexis Sanchez is expected to undergo an Inter medical as early as Tuesday after agreeing a free loan with €15m option to buy and Manchester United paying 75 per cent of his salary.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, today’s negotiations directly with the Old Trafford club and agent Fernando Felicevich are proceeding very well.

The Chile international would move to Inter on a free loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season for €15m.

Manchester United would also contribute to pay approximately half of his salary during the loan deal.

Sportitalia update it to suggest Inter will pay only €3-4m of the wage - approximately a quarter of the total.

Alexis could be in Italy tomorrow evening, preparing to undergo a medical and sign the contract on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old had been on Antonio Conte’s wish-list for many years, going back to Juventus.

Sanchez shot to fame at Udinese in 2008-11, moving to Barcelona for €26m, then Arsenal for €42.5m in 2014 and four years later Manchester United for €34m.
