Inter battle Manchester United and Bayern Munich for Barcelona attacker

One-time Udinese star Alexis Sanchez could be heading back to Serie A amid rumours Inter are interested in his services, though they face competition from Manchester United and European Champions Bayern Munich.

The Chilean left Italy in 2011 to secure a move to Spanish giants Barcelona, and his performances of late have led to speculation that a number of clubs are interested in luring him away from Camp Nou.

Tuttomercatoweb claim it will take a big in the region of €25 million to prize Sanchez away from Barcelona, but state that a bid around €30m could be needed to ward off potential advances from Manchester United.

Sanchez may be interested in linking up with his former coach Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, and the Bavarian club are rumoured to be weighing up an offer to present to Barcelona.

The 24-year-old has notched up seven goals in nine La Liga appearances this season for the Blaugrana.
