According to a recent report from La Cuarta, Manchester City have rekindled their interest in Alexis Sanchez and will be looking to bring him to Etihad in the summer. The Chilean is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Manchester United, where he has dealt with an injury-hit season. But since his return, Sanchez has shown the world what he is capable of.

The 31-year-old was back among the goals during Inter Milan’s fixture against SPAL and also impressed in the match against Torino, where he provided two assists and created 10 chances – the most in a single game in the top-five European leagues this season.
These recent performances have put Alexis back on Manchester City’s radar and with the Premier League’s side’s Champions League ban lifted, they can surely lure the Chilean away from Manchester United in the summer.
Pep Guardiola himself is a big fan of the forward, the two were together during their time at Barcelona when the Catalan manager signed Alexis from Udinese in 2012. The Man City boss recently admitted that the club wanted to sign the Chilean but couldn’t compete with United’s financial power. ‘We wanted Alexis Sanchez, we couldn't afford it’ said the 49-year-old.
The Chilean looks to have found his form back under Antonio Conte as in his six games he has been involved in eight goals, scoring twice and assisting six times. The Chilean will complete his loan spell in Itlay this season and after that is expected to return to Manchester but will it be ‘Blue or Red’, it remains to be seen.
