Alexis Sanchez Obstructing Inter Offensive Strategies

Inter wish to cull their attack before moving to the final stages of their pursuit of Paulo Dybala and the stubbornness of Alexis Sanchez is hindering such intent. While La Joya was their top target in previous months, things have changed once Romelu Lukaku became available.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri hope to get an assist from Fernando Felicevich. The agent of the Chilean striker and Arturo Vidal will arrive in Milan in early July. The attacker has turned down every offer so far. The most concrete one came from Villarreal.

Inter consider the departure of Alexis Sanchez essential to finalize the Dybala signing. The two have basically matching wages. The contract of the veteran does not have an exit clause, and he does not want to give up his remaining €7M salary. If he joined a side that paid him less, the Nerazzurri would have to make up the difference. In addition, he prefers Barcelona among the possible destinations. But his return there could happen only very late in the window. Instead, the club can get rid of the Vidal by releasing him for €4M.

La Beneamata would be ready to seal the deal for the former Juventus star after offloading the 33-year-old, the publication adds. They believe they could find a solution for either Edin Dzeko or Joaquin Correa in the ensuing weeks.

Our Take on Inter, Alexis Sanchez and Dybala

The Chilean is used to playing in elite teams, plus his requests are conspicuous, so it could be tough to solve the puzzle. It will likely happen at some point, but it remains to be seen how much longer the Argentine will wait. In any case, he should consider other teams since his role would be even lesser than his one in Turin.
