However, according to another round Alexis Sanchez transfer news, a loan deal isn’t the only one that is being negotiated between the two clubs.

Inter Milan chief Giuseppe Marotta while talking about the Sanchez Inter Milan deal has already confirmed his intentions to buy the player. The Inter chief said that while he would be happy to see the Chilean sign for Inter Milan permanently, a Sanchez Inter Milan deal won't be easy since he has two years left on his heavy contract in Manchester.
Alexis Sanchez salary proves a stumbling block for both clubs
Sanchez has two years left on his current deal, which sees him earn as much as £560,000 a week including £300,000 in basic salary and image rights of £100,000. However, his salary is currently paid by both Man United and Inter Milan, with a split of around £150,000 a week of Sanchez's wages according to Daily Mail. A transfer looks to go through only if Sanchez decides to take a pay cut, and Manchester United lower their asking price of £18million.
