West Ham 'have been in contact with Alexis Sanchez's agent' over a potential move for the Chilean winger this summer.
Sanchez is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Manchester United but has struggled to make much of an impact in Italy amid recurring injury issues.
The 31-year-old has played in just 15 matches for Antonio Conte's team, scoring just once, and Inter have no desire to keep hold of him beyond this season.
According to FC Inter News, as relayed by Sport Witness, Inter can't consider buying Sanchez outright from United because of his £10.6million-a-year wage packet.
And with United unwilling to keep him either, Sanchez will be on his way to a new club once the transfer window does open.
The report suggests that West Ham have contacted Sanchez's agent Fernando Felicevich for 'information' on his availability, though that is the extent of their interest so far.
However, Sanchez earns £400,000-a-week at United and West Ham are unlikely to match that, meaning the player will have to take a substantial pay cut.
Even during his loan at Inter, United were paying £300,000-a-week of that sum with the Serie A club contributing £100,000.
There is also reported interest from the Bundesliga in Sanchez, who needs a fresh start to reinvigorate a career that well and truly lost its way at Old Trafford.
Since Sanchez arrived from Arsenal in January 2018, United have spent an eye-watering £64.65m when weekly wages, appearances fees, signing-on fees and annual loyalty bonuses are taken into account.

This is just a prank to up the morale of United fans. No club is dumb enough to outright buy Sanchez and pay the wages hes on and we know he wont take a pay cut cos if that was the case, he would have went to City who were the better destination at the time but offered lower wages. United fans should just save themselves the trouble of having hope he leaves cos everyone should know it ain't happening and that hes gonna see out that monster contract regardless.

I always knew that chelsea won't let go(premier league double + a 1-2 cup win when Rashy scored a stunning free kick at our carington2 stanford bridge) Anyway i understand bro, but stil, u should let go🙄
You are still behind the term you beat two times in EPL and while you beat us in Carabao cup, it was fantastic watching you play the final with Villa and your club ended up winning it, right???

Sanchez is still a good player and he just need a good team like Everton, wolves, Newcastle, crystal etc, then you see the good performance of him and he will get more games to play. and remember the way arsenal play is far to the way man United playing.

He wont go West Ham. The contract United have given him, no club is dumb enough to take him while hes on 350k a week with bonuses up to 500k. United are stuck with him thats the reality West Ham have no need for Sanchez when they have Anderson.

It's easy to blame United, but they had to lure him from City with that money. It's his fault, when he failed to sparkle. But 65M is a astonishing cost. He should donate part of this salary to Coronavirus efforts

Paying a player a whooping £300,000 a week without even making a bench , plus £1m loyalty and other add-ons is beyond imagination , currently , Utd is almost paying Sanchez just to play for another team , when the should been better off going to NHS worker ...please West Ham , we are waiting for miracle from you guys , you can get Lingardinho as a gift , good luck Hammers

let him come back to United. Jose and the United family thought money is everything. they will continue to regret on spoiling money until they get sense. they waist players career.they couldn't use menphis depay, Pogba is hanging there. you must welcome senchez back just to waist more money.

Sanchex was a very good player until he joined mu where he met with some enemy's of progress who planed fr his down fall because of his weekly pay, and until now mu hav not uprooted the root of such problem and even planning fr another of such through Sancho if it happens tht he joined mu wth the rumoured Weekley pay, i suggest that mu management should stand up and learn from the past mistake.
