Chilean Forward Alexis Sanchez may have been one of the biggest transfer mistakes hurting Ed Woodwork at Old Trafford as Manchester United snatched away the Chilean on free transfer to their neighbors Manchester United. The forward who was at his pick in Arsenal under Arsene Wenger was left off the hook after he refused to put pen on paper and the club ran our of option to sale him; prompting him to leave on a free transfer.
Since joining United, Sanchez has been was a failure of player can be defined. He came with high hopes placed on him even to the extent that the jersey number 7 worn by Cristiano Ronaldo was given to him Bu with 32 games played since his arrival, Alexis has only managed 3 goals and have fallen our not Ole Soslkjear plan for the new season. Sanchez and Ole's relationship broke down as the players who happens to be the highest earner and sits on the bench week in week out refused to accept a pay cut to his huge was bills.
Manchester United have finally agreed a deal with Italian side Inter Milan for a loan deal for Alaxis Sanchez till the end of the season. The loan agreement has been a major issue over some days between the two clubs on how the player wage bill will be shared. With a weekly wage bill of £500,000, the payment formula has kept Inter reluctant to the agreement. But Manchester United who as desperate to ship the player finally agrees to pay €7m of the €12m annual deal with Sanchez. That means Inter Milan will pay the remaining €5.
Another grey are ironed out in the deal was Inter wanting a clause inserted to sign the player on a permanent basis at the end of his loan stay for €20m which Manchester United declined. So, Sanchez will be heading to Italy in a couple of hour to join his former team mate Lukaku who left the Manchester club this summer to joined his long time coach admirer Antonio Conte.
At 30 years of age and with such wage bill, Sanchez remains the biggest winner in the game pack as his £500, 000 weekly wage bill runs till 2022. Alexis may have disappointed to lightened up his career, let’s hope Antonio Conte will help the player pick up his pieces and become the once feared, energetic, dribbling and scoring forward of Arsenal days.
