Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is hopeful of signing Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez from Udinese this summer.

The Nerazzurri are in talks with the Friuli outfit to acquire the 22-year-old, who is under contract with Udinese until June 2014.

Sanchez, who has been a reported target of Manchester City, has enjoyed a fine campaign with Udinese, scoring 12 goals to help the Bianconeri qualify for the Champions League next season.

Moratti said to Inter channel: "We are talking to Sanchez.

"I don´t know how successful we will be.

"He is a player that has a lot of quality and with Udinese we have opened up negotiations.

"There is a 60% chance that he will arrive.''

Moratti has also revealed his admiration for Palermo playmaker Javier Pastore.

However, they are unlikely to make a move to acquire the Argentina international, with Palermo having slapped a 50million euros price tag on him.

"Pastore is fantastic,'' Moratti said. "But I don´t think it´s possible to enter negotiations to acquire him."
