Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Alexis Sanchez will join Inter Milan on a permanent transfer at the end of this season.

Sanchez is currently with Inter on a loan from United since 2019. Talks of his permanent move to the Nerazzurri have progressed, which if finalized will see the Chilean forward joining Inter on a free transfer. Currently, United are still paying a large portion of his 560,000 pounds-a-week wage.

“I can confirm we have agreed. Alexis enjoyed his time there they have liked him so that’s a good move for him,” IANS quoted Solskjaer as saying to Sky Sports.

“We wish him all the best and he is a top player who we want to see play his best football,” he added.

Solskjaer’s remarks came as Manchester United registered a 7-1 aggregate win over LASK in the Euro League round-of-16 tie.

Inter chief executive Beppe Marotta on Wednesday told Sky in Italy that Sanchez would be signing a three-year contract, saying: “He is not official yet but unofficially he is ours for three seasons. We believe in him a lot and we are happy.”

Since joining United from Arsenal in January 2018, Sanchez just managed to score five goals in 45 games.
