Sanchez tears up Inter Milan contract ahead of move to new club
Inter have confirmed the termination of Alexis Sanchez’s contract amid reports the forward is set to join Marseille.
Sanchez arrived at San Siro from Manchester United in 2019, initially on a season-long loan before signing a permanent deal in 2020.
The Chile international was part of the Inter side that won the Serie A title in the 2020-21 season, while he also scored a dramatic 121st minute winner against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana in January.
Sanchez only managed five goals in 27 Serie A appearances for the Nerazzurri last season, though just seven of those were starts.
The 33-year-old made 109 appearances in all, scoring 20 goals.
Inter said in a statement on Monday: “FC Internazionale Milano announces that it has reached an agreement for the consensual termination of the contract of the Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez.
“The club would like to thank Alexis for his three seasons in the Nerazzurri, culminating in the winning of three trophies, and wishes him the best for the rest of his career.”
Numerous reports have suggested Sanchez’s next move will be to Ligue 1, with Marseille said to be offering the former Barcelona man a two-year deal.
