Talks for Alexis Sanchez ongoing between Manchester United and Inter Milan

Alexis Sanchez could leave for Italy before the transfer window shuts

One thing is for sure, Inter Milan certainly aren't playing around this summer. After signing Romelu Lukaku on a £75 million deal, the Nerazzurri are once again in talks with Manchester United, this time in an effort to engineer a loan deal that will see Alexis Sanchez donning the black and blue kit next season.

According to the latest reports, Inter Milan are confident about sealing a deal before the transfer window shuts next week. The deal will reportedly cost the Serie A outfit about £11 million.

All eyes are on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he has to make a call before it's too late. Manchester United frontman Anthony Martial picked up a thigh injury last week in their defeat against Crystal Palace and his return date is not known at the moment.

Despite this, Inter Milan remain confident that they can sign Sanchez.
