Medel urges Sanchez to quit Arsenal for Inter

Gary Medel has urged Alexis Sanchez to consider quitting Arsenal in order to join Inter.

Sanchez's future remains the subject of intense speculation, with talks over a new contract having failed to progress in recent weeks.

"Alexis is a player everyone knows. He's one of those strikers that all the top clubs look at," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"I don't know what his future will be, but if he asks for information on Inter, I'll say that here we have a great squad, a very good coach and directors who are hungry for victories. You won't find a project like this elsewhere."

"Inter want me to stay and I don't want to leave," he said. "The situation is extremely simple. My agent will be in Italy after the game [on Sunday]. He will meet the representatives of the club and an agreement should be pretty easy to be found."

"We're in a very good condition, physically and mentally, and we have to prove it on Sunday," said the 29-year-old.

"If we win, the table could become very interesting. I'm convinced that, if we win a lot of our next matches, someone will slip up soon. One wrong move and we'll be there.

"I've never played in the Champions League and I have a huge desire to hear that music from the pitch at San Siro."
