Alexis Sanchez set for Inter exit and Marseille move

Alexis Sanchez seems to be closer than ever to leaving Inter with a mutual contract termination, with reports he might already be in France to sign for Olympique Marseille.

The Chile international is under contract with the Nerazzurri until June 2023, but as he is not part of their plans and yet the highest earner at the club with over €7m per season, the desire is to get him off their books.

That could well include a massive pay-off, believed to be at least €5m, in order to terminate it early by mutual consent.

Things are progressing at last, with news that Alexis Sanchez did not take part in training with the rest of the Inter players this afternoon.

Sport Mediaset even claim that he is already in France, preparing to sign for Olympique Marseille as a free agent.

He is expected to sign a deal with the Ligue 1 side worth €3m per season net plus performance-related bonuses.

It has been a busy day for Marseille, who already signed Jordan Veretout from Roma on a permanent deal.
