In an interview with Chilean radio station Radio Cooperativa, which was conducted late last night, former Inter player Ivan Zamorano has shared his hopes to see Alexis Sanchez remain with Inter past the end of this season.

Sanchez joined Inter on a season long loan from Manchester United this past Summer and whilst Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already confirmed that Sanchez will be returning, Zamorano is refusing to give up hope.

“He has a contract with Manchester United, but we will see where he wants to continue and feels happy. I would like to stay in Milan, in June he would have the opportunity to play with another Chilean, who will most likely come to this club. I am optimistic about the possibility to see two Chileans at Inter.”

He proceeded to discuss who he thinks that second Chilean will be.

“We all know what Arturo Vidal means to Conte, in June the effort will undoubtedly be greater and the Inter fans would be very happy to have Arturo.”

Zamorano then returned to speak about Alexis Sanchez and revealed his hopes to see his countryman start in this Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina between Inter and AC Milan.

“I hope he has the opportunity to play from the beginning. With his intelligence and his speed he can make a difference. The most important thing is that Alexis can have fun and play a great game.

“At first it cost him a little. He didn’t play much in Manchester and it cost him physically. When he was in his best physical condition, he got injured.

“On Sunday he has a great opportunity because Lautaro is disqualified and Romelu Lukaku needs a good partner to hurt Milan’s defence which have not done well lately.”

Zamorano spent five years with Inter between 1996 and 2001 and became a real fan favourite during that time. Zamorano, who famously wore 1+8 on his shirt, made 150 appearances across all competitions during which he scored 41 goals and tallied a single assist.
