Inter Milan 'could still sign Alexis Sanchez on permanent deal'

Inter Milan are reportedly still weighing up the possibility of signing Manchester United attacker Alexis Sanchez on a permanent deal during this summer's transfer window.

The Chile international joined Inter on loan last August and has made 24 appearances for the Italian giants this season, contributing three goals and nine assists in the process.

Antonio Conte's side had allegedly already decided that they would not be attempting to sign the 31-year-old on a permanent deal ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter could be convinced to sign the South American if he impresses in their final games of the season.

United are believed to be against the idea of another loan deal and value the experienced attacker, who has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2022, in the region of £18m.

Sanchez has only scored five times in 45 appearances for the 20-time English champions.
