Serie A giants determined to sign Manchester United forward

Inter Milan are reportedly 'determined' to seal the services of Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United before the Italian transfer window closes on August 23.

Edin Dzeko had been their prime target to bolster the centre-forward department this summer but the Bosnian made a surprise U-turn and signed a new deal with AS Roma.

As a result, it appears that they have shifted their focus towards Sanchez and it is suggested that the player is very much keen on making the switch due to his struggles at Old Trafford.

According to The Mirror, the Chilean has already agreed personal terms over the move and the Nerazzurri are determined to push through a transfer agreement which including an initial loan deal.

It has been previously claimed that the Red Devils hierarchy will have the eventual say on the transfer but the San Siro outfit remain optimistic over the deal after doing business for Romelu Lukaku earlier in the month.

Sanchez, who has bagged just five goals during his 19-month stay with United, is currently going through an individual training programme after his return from a hamstring problem.
