Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez has been handed a chance to revive his dwindling career after agreeing to join Inter Milan on a permanent deal this summer.

The former Barcelona and Arsenal attacker embarked on a season-long loan deal at the Italian League side last year.

He scored four goals and assisted 10 others in 30 appearances across competitions so far - and he could add more after progressing to the Europa League quarterfinals with 2-0 win over Getafe.

Romelu Lukaku and Christian Erikson both scored a goal to propel the Serie A giants to the last eight stage of the competition.

However, Sanchez's move was confirmed by Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after his side edged LASK to a 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Wednesday, July 5.

According to Sky Sports, the two teams seem to have reached an advanced stage of their talks which will see the 31-year-old leave the club on a free despite having two more years on his deal.

Sanchez joined United from Arsenal in a swap deal and became the club's most paid star with earnings around £560k-a-week.

The Red Devils were however still paying a bulk of the weekly wages despite being on loan at Inter, but that is about to end this summer.

When asked about a potential Sanchez move after LASK Europa League win, Solskjaer said: "I can confirm that he's agreed and we've agreed. "Alexis enjoyed his time there.

"They've liked him, so of course that's a good move for him. Wish him all the best. He's a top player, that we want to see play his best football.

"For whatever reason we didn't see the best of Alexis, but he's a top professional and we just wish him all the best."

Earlier this week, Inter chief executive Beppe Marotta told Sky in Italy that Sanchez would be signing a three-year contract with the club.

He said: "He is not official yet but unofficially he is ours for three seasons. We believe in him a lot and we are happy."

Reports claim Sanchez will receive about £55 million payout fee from United for cancelling out his deal with two more years on it.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Alexis Sanchez's permanent move to Inter Milan from Man United has finally been agreed, reports coming from Italy.

Italian news media outlet Corriere della Sera, Inter's sporting director Beppe Marotta has finally accepted a deal with United for the Chilean worth £13.5million.

It is understood the winger will be officially announced as an Inter player after their Europa League clash with Getafe in midweek.
