Free agent Sanchez returns to Inter Milan

After leaving Marseille, Alexis Sanchez has returned to Inter Milan as a free agent, the Serie A team confirmed on Saturday.

Inter announced that Sanchez “has signed a contract with the club until 30 June 2024” for an estimated $3.02 million (2.8 million euros).

Attacker Sanchez, who is regarded as Chile’s all-time leading scorer and a two-time Copa America champion, scored 18 goals for Marseille last season after switching from Inter to France.

The 34-year-old was a member of the Inter team that won Serie A in 2021, and last summer he decided with Inter to end his contract in exchange for a four million euro golden parachute.

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 on Monday.
