Alexis Sanchez must take a HUGE pay cut of ‘at least half’ of his £400,000 a week wages to stay at Inter Milan next season as Manchester United flop attempts to impress after injury hell
Alexis Sanchez will need to accept a significant drop in wages if he wants to complete a permanent switch to Inter Milan this summer, according to Tuttosport.
The Chilean’s contract with Manchester United is worth a whopping £400,000 a week, with a further £160,000 of bonuses dependent on his success.
Inter agreed to cover just £4.5million of his £21m annual salary when signing him on loan last summer and the Serie A giants will not get close to matching his United deal if they opt to keep him beyond this season.
Alexis Sanchez would have to accept a huge pay cut if he wants to join Inter Milan permanently
The Italian publication claim that Sanchez would have to be willing to drop his demands by ‘at least half’ to secure a permanent move to the San Siro.
That would result in a weekly salary of around £200,000 a week for the former Arsenal star, who has only scored one goal since moving to Milan last summer.
Tuttosport claim that Inter are open to the idea of paying up to £22m to land Sanchez permanently, despite interest in Napoli’s Dries Mertens.
However, the Belgian is now reportedly on the verge of renewing his contract in Naples, potentially giving Sanchez a chance to remain in Italy.
