Alexis Sanchez has reportedly terminated his contract with Inter by mutual consent after weeks of negotiations and is now expected to sign for Olympique Marseille.
The 33-year-old Chile international was still under contract until June 2023, but not part of Simone Inzaghi’s plans and above all could not continue as the highest-paid player in the squad.
He was earning circa €7m per season after joining for free from Manchester United in September 2020, having before that been on loan for the 2019-20 campaign.
It was reported his agent had rejected €4m to tear up the deal a year early, so the agreement was reached for higher than that figure.
According to L’Equipe, the deal was struck at €4.5m.
Nonetheless, Calcio e Finanza point out that as long as it was under €6.5m, releasing the player a year early still gives Inter a profit.
Alexis Sanchez made 108 competitive appearances in the Inter jersey, scoring 20 goals and providing 23 assists.
He helped Inter to win one Serie A title, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup.
Inter already went through the same process this summer with Arturo Vidal, paying him severance to tear up the contract a year early.
should do well in the farmers league
Lord Allegri will not comment on his beloved club. He is waiting for Juventus news so he can show off his single-digit IQ.
