Alexis Sanchez’s future at Inter is currently hanging in the balance as the club prepare to decide his fate.
It will take some time for the 33-year-old Chilean forward to fully recover from the red card received in the Nerazzurri’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash earlier this week, a moment that essentially killed the team’s chances in the tie.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Inter are preparing to make a decision regarding Sanchez’s future soon. Considering that his current contract is set to expire in 2023, the team need to decide whether to renew his deal or try to sell him for a low fee in the summer.
The former Arsenal and Manchester United man earns around €7m net per season in the Lombardy capital, a heavy weight on the Nerazzurri’s balance sheets.
Sanchez has made 29 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1162 minutes. In that time, he’s scored six goals and provided five assists.

Sell. He ain’t get any younger. He’s lost at least a yard of pace and complains too much when he is not playing. And let’s not forget he is injury prone. which only worsens as you get older.
you get the highest salary to show off your experience when needed, not to do what Balotelli or any kid does under pressure.
getting sent off at the most important moment of the most important game of the season is not what professional players get paid for. any random human being could do that for free.
