Inter is not the only club interested in the Chilean Udinese player Alexis Sanchez. Carlo Ancelotti has asked Roman Abramovich for a new player in January and it could be the attacker. In the coming days, the Russian tycoon will decide whether it is worth spending 26 to 28 million for the player making Inter hurry.

The Nerazzurri, being in pole position to acquire the player next season, would not want to spend that much in January and, if Sanchez were to end in Chelsea are thinking of a viable alternative for next season.

The culprit would be the turbulent Montenegrin Roma striker Mirko Vucinic, out of favour with Ranieri and willing to get away as soon as possible. Inter like Vucinic but Sanchez remains the priority.
