Marco Branca- Inter want Udinese's Alexis Sanchez, but won't pay €35 million

Inter's transfer director Marco Branca has admitted the club are eager to pursue a move for Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez, but added they are not prepared to pay €35 million for him.

Sanchez has scored 12 goals in 27 league games, and has formed a good understanding with striker Antonio Di Natale, who has netted on 25 occasions so far this season.

The Chilean has reportedly attracted interest from several Serie A clubs, as well as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea, but club chiefs have in the past made their valuation clear - a figure that Branca feels may fall outside their transfer budget.

He told the Inter Channel: "Sanchez has exploded so much ever since I spoke with Udinese about him.

"But, if we have to move on those cash figures, then I think it will be difficult. If however the price varies, then he is a player we surely are interested in."

Inter take on Milan in the city derby this weekend, and are two points behind the table-topping Rossoneri prior to kick-off.
