The 2022/23 Serie A season is about to start, but Inter Milan’s streamlining of the lineup has not stopped: at 6 o’clock on the evening of Monday local time, the Serie A giants officially issued a statement confirming that they had a year ahead of schedule with the 33-year-old Chile international and center forward. Sanchez completed the termination of the contract, and the story of the two sides ended with parting ways. Inter Milan said, "The club would like to thank Alexis (Sanchez) for the three honors he has won for us in the past three seasons, and wish him all the best in his future career."


Born in 1988, Sanchez became famous at Udinese and played for giants such as Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester United from 2011 to 20. On September 1, 2020, Sanchez switched to Inter Milan as a free agent. Since then, he has played 109 times for the Nerazzurri first team in domestic leagues, cups and European competitions, scoring 20 goals and sending 23 assists. Despite repeated injuries in the past 3 years and being squeezed out of the main lineup by Lukaku during this period, the Chile international finally won 3 championship trophies with Inter Milan, including 1 Serie A trophy, 1 Coppa Italia and 1 Italian Super Cup .


Due to comprehensive reasons such as sports and finances, Inter Milan has put Sanchez's contract termination on the agenda since May, but the two sides have huge differences in the amount of compensation. However, after several setbacks, Inter Milan finally reached an agreement with the Chilean center on the specific compensation amount for the termination of the contract, and Sanchez officially resumes his status as a free agent from now on. It is reported that Inter Milan paid Sanchez 7 million euros in compensation for the early termination of the contract, but the team's reporter Pasquale Guaro said on Twitter that the Chilean's termination payment was not the rumored 7 million. euros, but 10 million euros - part of which is overdue.
