Inter to take Sanchez off Barca

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Inter are in advanced talks with Barcelona for Alexis Sanchez and have a deal for Sampdoria’s Mauro Icardi.

This season’s injury problems have pushed President Massimo Moratti to seek a younger side next year, particularly in attack.

This morning’s Gazzetta suggests talks are at an advanced stage to take Sanchez back to Serie A now that he has slipped out of the Barcelona starting XI.

The Chilean is no stranger to Italy, as he shot to fame at Udinese, earning a transfer worth €26m plus a further €11m in performance-related bonuses.
