MILAN (AFP) – Alexis Sanchez has returned to Inter Milan as a free agent after leaving Marseille, the Serie A club announced yesterday.
In a statement, Inter said Sanchez “has signed a contract with the club until June 30 2024” worth a reported EUR2.8 million.
Attacker Sanchez, considered Chile’s greatest ever footballer and a two-time Copa America winner, scored 18 times for Marseille last season after moving to France from Inter.
The 34-year-old was part of the Inter team to win Serie A in 2021 and last summer agreed with Inter to terminate his contract, being paid a golden parachute of EUR4 million.
He comes back to a club with different striking line-up, with Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku both gone and Joaquin Correa moving to Marseille on loan.
Sanchez will now be battling with Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic for a spot alongside World Cup-winning captain Lautaro Martinez.
Inter travel to Sardinia to take on Cagliari in their second league fixture of the new season late tomorrow.
