Published on August 6, 2020, Manchester United has officially parted ways with Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez, paving the way for his permanent transfer to Inter Milan.
According to reports, United had been looking to offload the 31-year-old, who earns around 390,000 pounds a week, with Inter agreeing to pay less than half his wages when they signed him on loan.
Sanchez had signed with Inter on loan at the start of the 2019-20 season following a disappointing spell at United where he scored only five goals in 45 matches.
“Everyone at Manchester United wishes Alexis Sanchez all the best in his future career as he joins Inter Milan on a permanent transfer,” United said in a statement.
United had signed the Chile international in January 2018 after he netted 80 goals in 3-1/2 years at Arsenal, but he failed to reach those heights at Old Trafford under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Sanchez did, however, turn provider to top Inter’s charts with eight assists as they finished runners-up behind Juventus in Serie A.
