Alexis Sanchez returned to Inter in the recent summer window, signing a one-year contract, but it’s unlikely to be the final stop of his career.

Inter Exploring Shock Move for Former Forward

Inter and Alexis Sanchez may not have said the last goodbye when the Chilean veteran left the club in the summer of 2022. A shock report from Corriere della Serra suggests Simone Inzaghi could bring the 34-year-old back to Giuseppe Meazza as one last resort amid a faltering bid to reinforce his frontline. 

Options are dwindling for Inter. After being shut down by Romelu Lukaku, they’ve cast a wide net in pursuit of a new center-forward. However, there’s nothing to show for it yet. Inzaghi is not impressed by the idea of signing out-of-favor Atletico Madrid star Alvaro Morata, while Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun costs a small fortune. 

Morata’s well-documented problems with the finishing touch have deterred Inter from launching talks with Atletico. Balogun is Beppe Marotta’s prime target, but unless the Gunners drop their €40 million valuation, the USMNT prodigy won’t be donning the Nerazzurri shirt next season. 

Time is running out, and Inter must explore other avenues. Sanchez is a familiar face, having spent three seasons at the club before joining Marseille last summer. The skilled forward wasn’t a difference maker in its strictest sense, but he still netted some crucial goals for the Serie A giants. 

A move to Ligue 1 helped Sanchez turn the corner. Despite his age, he enjoyed a phenomenal season in 2022/23, tallying 14 goals and three assists in 32 league appearances. However, while Inter could arrange the Chilean’s return for the sake of the old days, this should be taken with a grain of salt.
