Manchester United are understood to have agreed a loan deal with Inter Milan for Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez is set to join former teammate Romelu Lukaku at the Serie A side, after United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sanctioned the move.
The 30-year-old earns around £505,000-a-week at Old Trafford and the Red Devils will subsidise his salary to facilitate the switch.
However, it is thought that Inter have not agreed an option to buy Sanchez permanently when the loan deal ends in the summer of 2020.
Sanchez’s spell at Old Trafford has been nothing short of a disaster, with the former Arsenal star having netted just three times in 33 Premier League appearances for the club.
United legend Gary Neville had called for the club to ship out the Chile international at their earliest opportunity.
“Sanchez has been an absolute disaster,” Neville said last week, “I have no idea what’s happened to him. There must be two of them.
“The one that’s turned up in Manchester I have no idea who that is. He needs to get him out of the club. He needs to get a couple out this year, he needs to get a couple out next year.”
