      But after his miserable spell at Old Trafford, he was loaned to Inter in 2019-20 before joining the Serie A giants permanently.
      Two years later, he signed for Marseille and scored 14 goals in 35 Ligue 1 games last season.
      However, after only penning a one-year deal, he is now a free agent.
      And reports in Chile claim Sanchez is ready to accept a stunning offer from Nottingham Forest.

      The City Ground side narrowly avoided relegation last season in their first term back in the top flight since 1999.
      El Futbolero say Sanchez is willing to forego Champions League football and mega wages to make the unexpected comeback to England.
      Sanchez starred at Arsenal after arriving from Barcelona but struggled to live up to his mammoth £505,000-a-week wages at United.
      Incredibly, the Red Devils paid the 155-cap international a staggering £20million per Premier League goal and £28,800 per touch.

      After his stint at Inter, Sanchez enjoyed a fruitful campaign with Marseille.
      But the report adds that relations with the French outfit were severed and he was not handed a contract extension.
      Marseille have already brought in another big-money former Premier League man in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer and therefore decided against keeping Sanchez.
      The forward was reportedly a transfer target for Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Besiktas, with suggestions of a £45,000-a-week contract on the table.
      However, he could be set to link up with the likes of Chris Wood, Brennan Johnson and new signing from Manchester United Anthony Elanga in the East Midlands.

      The Ecuadorian star, 21, has been heavily linked with Chelsea – who have seen two bids rejected – while United are also interested.
      Brighton owner Tony Bloom is holding out for £100m for Caicedo.
      But reports that the Red Devils will not sell McTominay – another Premier League midfielder tipped for a transfer – for less than £40m has prompted Seagulls supporters to urge their club to revalue Caicedo.
      And one fan quipped the £40m price tag on McTominay’s head amid West Ham interest means Caicedo’s worth has skyrocketed.

      They wrote on Twitter: ” Caicedo is now worth £500m @ChelseaFC.”
      Another said: “Chelsea fans this is why we’re asking for £100m for Caicedo xx”
      Others were baffled by the money United want for their academy graduate.
      One said: “£40m for Scott McTominay… worth £10m max.”

      Another added: “£40m for an extremely limited midfielder is insane.”
      Chelsea’s second bid to Brighton for Caicedo was worth £70m.
      But the Blues were reportedly told it was “nowhere near enough” because the South Coast club reckon their No25 is similar in value to Declan Rice, who joined Arsenal for £105m.
      In addition, Brighton rejected a £70m bid from the Gunners for Caicedo as recently as January.
      The midfielder has since signed a new four-year deal through to the summer of 2027.
      He also starred as the Seagulls went on to secure qualification for this season’s Europa League.
      Liverpool were also linked with Caicedo as a possible replacement should Fabinho leave but Stamford Bridge remains the youngster’s preferred destination and he has even admitted “he can’t say no” to joining Chelsea.
      The midfielder also let out a small smirk when asked if he was about to sign for the Blues during Brighton’s pre-season tour in America.
      However, boss Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Caicedo is going nowhere unless another club offers the right price – and could not resist a brutal dig at Chelsea.
      The Italian said: “It’s a clear situation at the moment. He stays with us until my owner changes his mind.

      “I don’t know what can happen in the future, but if Moises leaves we have to find the right player because it’s difficult to replace a player as good as Moises.

      by

      Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly accepted Al-Hilal’s world-record £259million offer.
      The Saudis still need to convince Mbappe his future lies in the Middle East.
      And Marca say that Madrid are ready to step in to make sure that does not happen – even though it remains unlikely they will match Al-Hilal’s proposal.
      The paper’s deputy editor Carlos Carpio says: “Real Madrid is willing to pay for the transfer of Mbappe .

      “I don’t think it will be before July 31 , I’m sure they will reach an agreement.”
      Mbappe, signed from Monaco for £162m in 2018, finds himself in an uneasy stand-off with PSG.
      The World Cup-winner shocked the French giants last month when he publicly revealed he will not be extending his deal with the club.
      But he has insisted he wants to stay put next season before leaving on a free transfer at the end of his contract.

      PSG’s board believe he has already agreed a deal with Madrid from 2024.
      And president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is determined to auction their star asset off this summer to avoid making a massive loss.
      This would be devastating for the Ligue 1 champions after making him the most expensive teenage player in the world.
      Kylian has been left out of PSG’s pre-season tour in Japan and South Korea.
      And there have even been suggestions he will not be selected for an entire year if he continues to refuse negotiations over a new contract.
      Former PSG sporting director Leonardo also advised his old club to put him up for sale as a result of his recent behaviour.
      He said: “For the good of PSG, I think the time has come for Mbappe to leave.
      “Due to his behaviour in the last two years, Mbappe has shown that he is still not a player capable of really leading a team.
      “It is difficult to build a team around him.”
      A host of Premier League clubs have also registered interest in Mbappe, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
      Tottenham have also been linked, although Mbappe is reportedly “completely uninterested” in a move.
