Inter will have to wait until next week until they can welcome Alexis Sanchez to the club, according to Corriere della Sera.

The forward will eventually join the Nerazzurri but talks are being dragged out over Manchester United’s contribution to his wages.

United are not in any hurry to reach an agreement over Sanchez because the Premier League’s transfer window closed two weeks ago.

Antonio Conte would have wanted the Chilean before Monday’s Serie A opener at home to Lecce, but this now seems very unlikely.

Elsewhere, Mauro Icardi remains adamant he wants to stay at Inter despite the club making it clear he has no future in Milan.

The striker has rejected a move to Napoli and is still waiting for Juventus, but the Bianconeri cannot move for now because they need to sell their own forwards first.

Inter are hopeful they will make greater progress today in their bid to swap Dalbert for Cristiano Biraghi with Fiorentina.

Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio will meet the Viola’s management for talks after Dalbert started showing signs that he might accept the move.
