According to Calciomercato, Newcastle and West Ham can sign Alexis Sanchez for just €4m (£3m) due to a release clause in his contract.

What’s the story?

Well, it was La Tercera who revealed that Newcastle and West Ham are interested in signing the 146-cap Chile international.

Now, Calciomercato have provided the Premier League duo with plenty of encouragement in regards to pursuing a deal.

The Italian news outlet believe Inter Milan are ready to sell Sanchez, who has a contract at the San Siro until June 2023.

So far this season, the 33-year-old has made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals while also providing five assists.

For Newcastle and West Ham, £3m is mere pocket change, so this deal sounds like a very easy one to complete if they are genuinely interested.

Sanchez may be past his best, although for just £3m, he’s worth taking a gamble on.

The South American scored 63 Premier League goals during his time at Arsenal, where he became one of the best forwards on the planet.

Eddie Howe, or David Moyes, won’t expect him to arrive and hit the ground running immediately, but he could serve as a very useful squad player.

Specifically for West Ham, there is an over-reliance on Michail Antonio in attack, so Sanchez arriving would certainly help the Jamaica international.

Keep an eye on this saga – for just £3m, Sanchez could prove to be an inspired signing for the Hammers or the Magpies.
