Transfer Talk: Alexis Sanchez must agree on pay cut for Inter switch

The winter transfer window is closed, but now it’s time to look ahead to the summer! Here are the new rumours floating around Europe’s big leagues and beyond.

Sanchez’s wages to halve for Inter move?

Alexis Sanchez has been told that he must agree to halve his £400,000-a-week wages if he wants to complete a permanent move to Inter Milan, Tuttosport reports. The thought as of late has been that the Chilean would be heading back to Manchester United with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemingly being open to the idea.

However, it now appears as if Inter are willing to complete the full deal — but only if Sanchez agrees to the aforementioned terms. Sanchez has only recently made his return to Inter Milan’s starting XI following a series of injury concerns, as Antonio Conte gets ready to take a big chance on signing the former Arsenal star. 

Atletico Madrid want Rakitic

Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic this summer, Marca reports. The belief is that the Croatian is going to be one of their primary targets once the season comes to an end, with Rakitic actually meeting with some Atletico representatives in the wake of their win over Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.

His priority is said to be staying in Spain as opposed to heading abroad which could rule out the highly rumoured switch to Italian giants Inter Milan.

In terms of Atletico, though, the city is believed to have ‘charmed’ Rakitic and his family who have already commenced looking at properties around the area. 

Real Madrid eye up Pochettino

The Independent is reporting that Real Madrid consider Mauricio Pochettino to be a potential replacement for Zinedine Zidane, The Independent reports. The Spanish giants have been asked to be kept aware of the Argentine’s movements with the hope being that they can lure him to the Bernabeu as a possible replacement for the aforementioned Zidane during the summer transfer window.

There is said to be a growing pressure in Madrid right now despite the win over Barcelona, with the loss to Manchester City in the Champions League being pinned on Zidane by the club. Pochettino, on the other hand, has been out of a job since leaving Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season.  

Tap-ins

– AC Milan could wind up losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the summer, Calciomercato reports. With many changes being made within the club’s front office right now, including the departure of Zvonimir Boban and expected exit of Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, Ibrahimovic’s agent may prefer for the Swede to get out if his contract early in favour of a move to somewhere more secure. 

– Carlo Ancelotti wants to try and sign a midfielder for Everton that will inject some energy in the first team, the Liverpool Echo reports. The Toffees have had mixed results ever since the veteran boss arrived, with the man himself confirming that bringing in a new midfielder remains a top priority for the club as we look ahead to the summer transfer window.
