Inter Milan want to sell Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window, according to . It has been reported that Inter owner Steven Zhang wants to trip the squad further and is willing to offload the former Manchester United and Arsenal forward.
Sanchez spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Inter from Manchester United and made the deal permanent in the summer of 2020. The 32-year-old made 10 starts and 12 substitute appearances in Serie A in 2019-20, scoring four goals and providing eight assists in the process. Sanchez scored seven goals and gave five assists in 12 Serie A starts last season.
It will be interesting to see if Inter are able to find a buyer for Sanchez. The former Arsenal star is 32 now, and it is hard to see too many top clubs in Europe lining up for him…

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi celebrates his 31st birthday on Sunday, another milestone for the record breaker.
Since making his Barca debut aged 17 Messi has been the scourge of defenders in Spain and across the globe.
In the process the forward has collected 31 trophies but international honours with Argentina still elude him, something that seems unlikely to change with their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread.
To celebrate Messi s birthday, we take a look at 10 of his best goals throughout a sensational career that still has plenty more to come.
Albacete (H): May 1, 2005
Even at 17, Messi had the confidence of a veteran. Having already had one goal wrongly ruled out for offside an audacious chip from the edge of the box Mess…
Luciano Spalletti thinks Inter have earned to right to Champions League football as they prepare for Sunday s crucial Serie A showdown with Lazio.
A win at the Stadio Olimpico will see Inter leapfrog Simone Inzaghi s side into fourth place in the table, while any other result will hand the capital club the coveted spot.
A run of eight games without a win in the middle of the season derailed Inter s title challenge, but a return to Europe s top competition for the first time since 2011-12 will make the season largely a success.
Spalletti does not think they necessarily deserve a top-four finish more than Lazio but he would consider it just reward for his players efforts this season.
No one can say who deserves it more, he told a news conference. We hav…
Real Madrid legend Raul is confident there is life after Cristiano Ronaldo for the Santiago Bernabeu side.
The Portugal international has become Madrid s undisputed star player since joining them from Manchester United in 2009, scoring well over 300 goals in all competitions over the past seven seasons and winning two Champions League trophies.
Some have suggested that Madrid have become overly reliant on Ronaldo, but Raul does not fear the end of the 31-year-old s time at the club.
There is definitely life after Ronaldo, Raul told AS.
What Cristiano has been doing is huge, but Madrid have a great team with players who can still offer more. The important things is that they keep working as a unit.
Cristiano has been the top scorer for the last…
Liverpool concluded their pre-season tour of the United States in style, producing a commanding 3-0 win over rivals Manchester United in South Carolina.
Fabio Carvalho and Curtis Jones gave Arne Slot s side a two-goal advantage at the break, with Kostas Tsimikas sealing the triumph just after the hour mark.
Erik ten Hag will have work to do ahead of their Community Shield fixture with Manchester City next week, having won just twice from their five pre-season encounters.
Liverpool took control of the contest early on, with their dominance rewarded in the 10th minute when Carvalho found the net with a low left-footed finish inside the area.
The Reds continued to create chances and were given their rewards nine minutes before the break as Mohamed Salah …
Jordan Henderson has urged Liverpool to take the final step this season and end their wait for a trophy.
Jurgen Klopp s side won their first four Premier League matches of the season to go top of the table heading into the international break.
The Reds have not won England s top flight since 1990 and are yet to lift a trophy since Klopp took charge three years ago, although they did reach the final of the Champions League last season.
Henderson thinks they are now playing probably the best football since he joined the club from Sunderland in 2011 and is desperate to back up their performances with silverware.
Some of the football over the last year is up there with the best I have been involved in, if not the best, he told Sky Sports.
We have ha…
If Fernando Santos could have his time back again as Sporting CP coach, he would not have allowed then-teenage sensation Cristiano Ronaldo to face Manchester United in that famous friendly which shaped the Portuguese star s career.
In 2003, a baby-faced Ronaldo came up against United in a pre-season game and dazzled his English opponents, so much so that Alex Ferguson quickly signed the 18-year-old.
The rest is history as Ronaldo went on to win three Premier League titles and the Champions League before making the move to Real Madrid, where he has claimed two European crowns and LaLiga since 2009.
Reflecting on Ronaldo s stunning career, Portugal coach Santos revealed his regret in fielding the three-time Ballon d Or winner against United on that fateful night 13…

With the 2023/24 Championship campaign getting underway on Friday night, Southampton will travel to Hillsborough when they meet Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday
Starting with the hosts, producing a famous play-off romp back in May as they secured a crucial Championship return, it is far to say that Sheffield Wednesday have endured a rollercoaster couple of months at Hillsborough. Shockingly parting ways with now-former boss Darren Moore last month and coming under a real public backlash, the Owls have struggled to find much momentum since appointing Xisco Munoz. While Friday’s hosts might have signed off their League One campaign last season with a real flurry, the one-time Watford boss has seen his new squad endure a tricky…
