The transfer of Joaquín Correa to Olympique de Marseille opened the door for Alexis Sanchez to return to Inter Milan, a club where he starred from 2019 to 2022.
Alexis Sanchez’s return to Inter Milan is a confirmed development. El Niño Maravilla has reached an agreement with the club that hosted him between 2019 and 2022, a period that saw him help the team win domestic trophies and compete at the highest level in Europe.
Recently, Giuseppe Marotta, the club’s chief executive, voiced confidence in the Chilean’s desire to return to San Siro. Even with the acquisitions of Marko Arnautović and Marcus Thuram, Inter remained open to pursuing a new offensive option that could be built around Sanchez’s experience and versatility, especially following Correa’s departure.
As GOAL reported, the Argentine striker will join Olympique de Marseille on loan, a move designed to smooth Sanchez’s potential reintegration with Inter. The deal includes an option to purchase, allowing Marseille to benefit from the player’s impact while preserving Inter’s strategic flexibility.
How did Alexis Sanchez perform during his time with Inter?
Notably, the former Barcelona forward was a free agent after leaving Olympique de Marseille on June 30. During his stint in Ligue 1, he led the attack with 18 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions. In Ligue 1 he tallied 14 goals in 35 matches, ahead of players like Nuno Tavares who added 6 goals.
CONTRACT LENGTH AND REMUNERATION
The player trained at Cobreloa is set to sign an initial one-year deal with Simone Inzaghi’s squad. The Italian club recognizes his value up front, with Sanchez expected to earn around 2.5 million dollars during the spell, a figure that reflects a cut from his Marseille earnings but aligns with Inter’s strategic plan for the period.
It’s worth recalling Sanchez’s journey prior to the move to Milan, including his dramatic return to elite European football after a high-profile exit from Manchester United. In 2018 he enjoyed a standout run at Old Trafford before heading to Italy, where Antonio Conte helped reignite his form and relevance on the continent.
