TOP STORY: Sanchez set for Premier League return?
Everton have been offered Alexis Sanchez on a free transfer from Internazionale, says The Sun.
The former Manchester United and Arsenal playmaker has struggled since his switch to Italy, starting just three times in Serie A this season under Simone Inzaghi.
The 33-year-old’s performances mean that the club are willing to move him on to save themselves in terms of finances due to their difficult circumstances that carried over from the summer.
It would give Rafa Benitez a chance to strengthen his forward line in January, with the Toffees also struggling financially. The manager has already claimed he won’t have “too much” to spend in the market, having already landed Vitaly Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson.
Full-back Lucas Digne is said to want to leave the Merseyside club, which could allow for more transfers to go through, though the report claims there are fears surrounding the ability to keep Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the club.
Sanchez is touted as one potential option to join the forward line, but so is New York City striker Valentin Castellanos. The 23-year-old managed to win the MLS Cup and Golden Boot in 2021 and is said to be of interest to the Toffees.
The report claims an offer of £14 million would have to be made to land the forward if they were to opt for him over Sanchez.
