    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The veteran attacker returned to Milan in the summer and rejoined Inter after spending a year at Marseille. The player's contract with the Italian giants expires at the end of the current season after which he wants to play in the U.S.

    He has been closely linked with a move to Inter Miami where he can reunite with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.

  • WHAT SANCHEZ SAID

    Speaking to reporters, the 34-year-old said: "In Juan Pinto Duran there are 3 showers and they don't work. You have to wait for the other person to shower. At the Colo-Colo stadium I was sitting stretching and excrement from ourselves in the shower came out of the drain, so you said 'is this a selection or what?'"
