Inter Milan chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has claimed Alexis Sanchez has signed a three-year contract with the Italian club.
Sanchez, 31, joined Inter on loan from Manchester United in August last year and the Serie A club have been keen to turn the move into a permanent deal.
Marotta is reported on the Football Italia website to have told reporters that the deal has been completed and will be made official on Thursday.
“Unofficially, we’ll make it official (on Thursday) morning, the player is entirely owned by Inter,” Marotta is quoted as saying.
“We have a contract with him for three seasons. We believe in him, that he can be a strong part of this squad and are happy to have concluded this deal.”
Former Arsenal striker Sanchez has scored four goals in 29 appearances in all competitions for Inter this season and was among their substitutes in their home Europa League tie against Getafe on Wednesday night.
Sanchez linked up with ex-United team-mate Romelu Lukaku at the San Siro when he arrived in the summer of 2019.
The Chile international had endured a miserable time at Old Trafford after United signed him from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January 2018.
He signed a four-and-a-half-year deal worth £14million a year after tax, but he struggled to reproduce his best form.
Sanchez scored five goals in 45 appearances and is no longer part of United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans.
It has been reported that United have been paying a sizeable chunk of Sanchez’s £400,000-a-week salary and the player is thought to have accepted a big drop in wages to make the move to Italy permanent.
Arsenal paid Barcelona £30m to bring Sanchez to the Premier League in 2014 and he scored 80 goals in three and a half years with the Gunners.

The Pittsburgh Penguins entered their qualifying round matchup against Montreal healthy but wary. While they’d shown plenty of grit during a regular season that featured extended absences by high-profile names on their star-laden roster, in a short series facing a goaltender like Carey Price, they took nothing for granted.

Bryson DeChambeau has been swinging his driver with such ferocity in recent months that it may only have been a matter of time before the bulked-up golfer’s beaten down club snapped in two pieces. A cracking sound could be heard when DeChambeau, competing at the PGA Championship, hit his first shot at TPC Harding Park’s par-four seventh hole with the club on Thursday. DeChambeau added 20 pounds of muscle to his frame this year and has been the talk of the golf world since the PGA Tour returned in June from its COVID-19 hiatus, given both his imposing physique and startling distance off the tee.
The 2020 USPGA Championship begins on Thursday, the first of three golf majors in a rearranged 2020 schedule. You can follow the latest scores as the first day progresses here. Ahead of the tournament starting, Rory McIlroy – a winner in 2014 – admitted it is “easy to lose focus” without the noise and excitement generated by crowds. “Obviously it isn’t new to us at this point. We’ve been back playing on Tour for the last eight or nine weeks or whatever it is,” McIlroy said. “I’ve found myself looking at leaderboards a little more just to see where I am on there and see where other people are. There’s no feedback from anywhere else; there’s even no scoreboard holders, so you don’t even know how the guys in your group are doing, (but) at this point we should all be used to it.
