Sanchez had only joined the club last season, but found himself packing his bags despite scoring 14 goals in Ligue 1 last season.
Before his spell in France, the Chilean turned out for Inter for three seasons, with the first being a loan spell from Man Utd.
While there he helped them end the club’s Serie A title drought.
In total he bagged 20 goals from 109 appearances in all competitions.
And now, at the age of 34, Sanchez could make a stunning return to Italy.
As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Inter CEO Beppe Marotta said: “Sanchez is keen on returning here.
“Alexis sent us clear messages about his desire to re-join Inter, it’s true.”

After three-and-a-half successful seasons in North London, Sanchez sealed a sensational transfer to United halfway in January 2018, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way.
However, the move turned sour very quickly, with Sanchez – who was on around £500,000 a week, revealing he wanted to leave United after just one training session.
He would eventually leave Old Trafford permanently in 2020, joining Inter on a free transfer.
This summer he has been linked with a return to Barcelona.
Meanwhile, SunSport revealed in May Sanchez had put out feelers regarding a Premier League return.
