The Observer report that Alexis Sånchez remains keen on a move to Inter and talks between the Nerazzurri and Manchester United will resume on Monday as they look to finally conclude a deal, although wages remain a stumbling block.
Nacho Monreal is on the verge of an Arsenal exit and MARCA report that he will return to his homeland to join Real Sociedad on a two-year deal with an option for a third.

The transfer window hasnât closed long for Premier League clubs but the Mirror are already stoking the fire of January rumours, suggesting that Manchester United want to sign James Maddison of Leicester City to solve their creativity issues.
According to the Weser-Kourier, Nabil Bentaleb has informed Schalke of his desire to join Werder Bremen and is likely to seal that switch on an initial loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent for a fee of âŹ10m-âŹ12m.
Continental interest in promising Liverpool youngster Bobby Duncan continues to grow, with Sky Sports claiming that Fiorentina are the latest team to show an interest in taking him on loan.
