Inter Milan 'confident of signing Alexis Sanchez'

Inter Milan are reportedly becoming increasingly confident of completing a move for Manchester United attacker Alexis Sanchez during this summer's transfer window.

The Chile international has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at San Siro, scoring four times and contributing 10 assists in 28 appearances in all competitions, with the 31-year-old particularly impressing since the lockdown period.

Inter recently confirmed that they wanted to sign the attacker on a permanent basis, although Sanchez's wages - thought to be in excess of £500,000 a week - are likely to prove problematic.

The former Arsenal forward still has two years left to run on his contract at Old Trafford and as it stands, he will return to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in August.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, Antonio Conte's side are confident of completing a permanent deal with negotiations 'already at an advanced stage'.

Sanchez has only scored five times in 45 appearances for United in all competitions.
