Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen a number of stories suggesting that Manchester United’s Alexis Sánchez could remain at Inter, but only if he drastically reduced his wage demands.
Both Tuttosport and Calciomercato ran the story days apart, but Corriere dello Sport have now waded in and, well, ripped it all up with their definitive reporting on the situation.
The Italian newspaper look at how Inter will approach the summer transfer window, and one of their big moves will be to send back the Chile international to Old Trafford once his loan expires.
They explain his ‘destiny is already sealed’, and ‘only if he had become the protagonist of an extraordinary season’ would the Serie A club have sat down with Manchester United to negotiate.
He’s managed one goal and three assists in that time, but it certainly hasn’t been enough to convince the Italians to try and make the move permanent.
It’s stated the wages have always been the ‘highest obstacle’, which we all already knew anyways.
Now, it looks like it’s up to Manchester United to decide what they want to do with Sánchez.
