After successfully signing Aslani on loan, One of Inter's next priorities is to continue to negotiate with Dybala about joining. But before that, they have to clean and regroup the front. Chilean thigh Sanchez is one of the cleansing lists. However, from the current situation, sending him away is not an easy task.
After joining Inter in the summer of 2020, Sanchez was offered a three-year contract with an annual salary of up to €7 million. In the subsequent 2020/21 Serie A season, Sanchez used 7 goals and 5 assists in 30 games to make a contribution to Inter's re-victory in Serie A after 11 years. And last season, although Inter failed to defend his title, Sanchez also has 39 games in all games, 5 goals and 2 assists, although the number of goals is not much, but in the Champions League group stage, Italian Super Cup and other key games, Sanchez scored gold goals, which can be described as a great achievement.
Objectively speaking, Sanchez's role at Inter is still obvious to all, and he has also worked very well with Lautaro and Lukaku in the championship season. But at the age of 33, the current situation of missing many games due to injury every season, it is inevitable that Sanchez will be on the Inter purge list. In recent times, there are still many teams interested in signing Sanchez, such as Sevilla in La Liga, Aston Villa in the Premier League, Galatasaray in the Turkish Super League and Argentine super giant River Plate, but these teams have been rejected by Sanchez one by one, according to the Italian media, Sanchez still hopes to appear in the mainstream league and the Champions League, and is willing to cut salaries to continue to stay in Meazza. Chile's thighs, it seems, are loyal to Inter. But in fact? Not really.
This past season, Sanchez has not had a very good time under Inzaghi Jr. In the first seven rounds of Serie A, Inzaghi Jr. led Inter to an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 2 draws, Lautaro and Dzeko's forward combination performed well, but Sanchez posted a quagmire sports car on social media, with the caption, "You may be worth thousands of dollars, but if you are in the wrong place, you will not be able to shine". This look is a sneak peek at accusing Inter's new manager of not giving him a chance.
Of course, Inter did not punish Sanchez for this, but at one point there was news that the winter window was going to send him away. And the Italian media did not side with Sanchez. Because after Lukaku's departure, Sanchez, who earned an annual salary of 7 million euros, was a top-paid inter player, but he often suffered from injuries and was a true glassman. And what is most unacceptable to Inter fans is that Sanchez is often injured by the national team. And Inzaghi Jr. has no problem reusing Lautaro and Dzeko, the former is the team's top scorer, and the latter's fulcrum role is also very important. It is normal for Sanchez, whose attendance is difficult to guarantee, to play as a substitute.
This summer, Inter's original striker was former Juventus captain Dybala, but Lukaku returned to the team first, which also pushed Inter's negotiations with Dybala back. The current situation is that Inter must purge Alexis Sanchez if they want to sign Dybala, otherwise there will be 5 well-paid players in the front line, which the Nerazzurri cannot afford.
So, Sanchez has repeatedly rejected offers from other clubs and insisted on staying at Inter, the purpose of which is to gamble a breath, create some trouble for Marotta and Inzaghi Jr., and ask for a huge break-up fee. When he terminated his contract with Manchester United 2 years ago, Sanchez did just that. At that time, in order to get rid of his big burden, Manchester United not only did not charge a penny transfer fee, but also gave Sanchez a generous liquidated damages, which made him send him to Inter as he wished. Now that the Nerazzurri have encountered the same problems as Manchester United's old iron, it is up to Marotta to persuade Sanchez to leave with a three-inch tongue. If he doesn't leave, Dybala won't be able to come.
