Serie A New Boys Pondering Late-Summer Move For Inter Milan Flop
Newcomers to Italy's top flight considering bid for unpopular San Siro star
With the summer transfer window drawing to a close, newly-promoted Serie A side Monza are reportedly considering a late move for Inter Milan forward Alexis Sanchez.
The 33-year-old has endured a torrid time in Milan since joining from Manchester United in 2019, failing to live up to expectations and becoming a peripheral figure under Simone Inzaghi.
Sanchez made just 23 Serie A appearances last season, scoring two goals and assisting three more.
Monza, who secured promotion to Serie A for the first time in their history last season, are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their debut campaign in the top flight.
The Italian minnows are said to be interested in signing Sanchez on a free transfer, with the Chilean's contract at Inter expiring at the end of the month.
Sanchez is believed to be open to a move to Monza as he looks to revive his career after a difficult few years in Milan.
However, it remains to be seen whether Monza can afford Sanchez's wages, which are reported to be in the region of £200,000 per week.
If Sanchez does make the move to Monza, he will become the latest in a long line of high-profile players to have played for the club.
Former Italy internationals Christian Vieri, Gianluca Zambrotta, and Massimo Ambrosini have all graced the pitch at Monza's U-Power Stadium.
Monza's interest in Sanchez is a sign of their ambition as they prepare for their first season in Serie A.
The club has already made a number of high-profile signings this summer, including Italy international Matteo Pessina and former Juventus midfielder Stefano Sensi.
If Sanchez does join Monza, he will be expected to play a major role in helping the club avoid relegation and establish themselves in Serie A.
The Chilean forward has a wealth of experience at the highest level, having played for Barcelona, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
He will be hoping to rediscover his best form at Monza and help the club achieve their goals.
Whether Sanchez can recapture his former glories at Monza remains to be seen.
But the Serie A new boys are certainly taking a gamble by considering a move for the former Manchester United forward.
