JAKARTA - Inter Milan striker Alexis Sanchez has reportedly ended his contract with the Nerazzurri. This agreement was reached after going through tough negotiations in recent weeks.

After his contract with Simone Inzaghi's side expires, Sanchez is expected to soon sign a contract with Olympique Marseille.

Quoted from Italian Football, Tuesday, the 33-year-old Chilean national team player is actually still under contract at Inter until June 2023. However, it is said that Sanchez ended the contract because he was not included in the coach's projections for next season.

Sanchez also can no longer be an Inter player because he is the highest paid player at the club. The same source said Sanchez received around 7 million euros per season or around IDR 106 billion.

Sanchez joined Inter for free from Manchester United in September 2020. Previously, MU chose to loan the player out in the 2019/20 season.

When negotiating the salary, Sanchez's agent rejected Inter's offer which offered a tag of 4 million euros per season or IDR 60.9 billion. According to reports in Italy, the agreement reached higher than this figure.

Nonetheless, Calcio e Finanza calculates, paying under 6.5 million euros to let the player go a year early still gives Inter an advantage.

During the black and blue uniform, Alexis Sanchez made 108 appearances in all competitions. He also scored 20 goals and provided 23 assists. The striker also helped Inter win the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup titles last season.

In addition to Sanchez, Inter also did the same to Arturo Vidal. The Nerazzurri management chose to pay Vidal's severance pay in order to get him out a year early.
