Reports from Italy claim Manchester United are FINALLY rid of Alexis Sanchez, with Inter Milan agreeing a £13.5m deal to sign him permanently and the £350,000 per week flop taking a huge pay-cut

• Inter Milan have reportedly agreed to sign Alexis Sanchez on a permanent deal
• United have been desperate to get the £350,000-a-week Chilean off their books
• The 31-year-old will spread his huge salary across a three-year deal at San Siro
• Sanchez endured a nightmare time at Old Trafford after signing in January 2018 
• The former Arsenal man was named in Inter's Europa League squad on Monday 

Manchester United have finally got Alexis Sanchez off their books after Inter Milan agreed to sign the Chilean winger permanently, according to reports in Italy.

Corriere della Sera have claimed that Inter's sporting director Beppe Marotta agreed on a deal with United, which will see the Serie A side part with £13.5million for him.

The report also suggests that the move will be announced after Inter's Europa League clash with Getafe on Wednesday - in which he was named in the Serie A side's squad for the remainder of the competition on Monday.

It will come as a massive relief for United who were desperate to offload Sanchez considering how he was earning a whopping £350,000 a week at Old Trafford while hardly playing.

His ongoing injury issues and lack of game time saw United ship him off to the San Siro where he has rediscovered some of the form that made him one of the most sought-after players during his time at Arsenal.

However, while out on loan, United were paying the bulk of his mammoth wages which proved to be a massive stumbling block when trying to move him on permanently.

Inter have been contributing around £150,000-a-week to his wages but were keen to avoid paying the full amount should he sign for the club. 

This how now been avoided, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who have claimed that Sanchez has agreed to spread his huge £13.5m salary over a three-year deal at Inter, taking him through until June 2023.

Inter have also signed Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young from United in the past year, and coach Antonio Conte is keen to keep Sanchez as well. 

The 31-year-old winger was due back at United on August 7 with nearly two years left on a contract worth up to £560,000-a-week, including £300,000 in basic salary and image rights of £100,000, but the news will see him remain in Italy while putting Old Trafford behind him.

Now this large part of United's pay-packet can be put towards the signing of Jadon Sancho, who is edging closer to joining the Premier League giants.

Reports on Monday suggested that United will pay for Sancho instalments, in total worth Borussia Dortmund's £108m valuation of the England starlet.

With Sanchez now heading for the Old Trafford exit, United chiefs will be in a healthier position financially should Sancho arrive this summer. 

Sanchez has contributed four goals and nine assists during his loan spell with Inter, which has largely been hampered by a tendon injury.

Sanchez joined United in January 2018 from Premier League rivals Arsenal - where he enjoyed incredible individual success - in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan but his time at Old Trafford quickly turned into a nightmare.

Sanchez has played just 45 times overall for the Red Devils, scoring only five goals and producing a mere nine assists.
