Techniqually he did not want sasukes body. He wanted kimimaro body but you know what happened. As for the eyes he wanted then for the rinnegan I believe.

Technically*

But yeah as the first guy said, he wanted Sasuke's body aswell.

If he took the Sharingan and it implanted it in his eye, he would've been like Kakashi. So he'd rather take Sasuke's body.

I think at first he just wanted the Sharingan to learn every jutsus he could with them but since he already switch bodies to try and stay alive, he figured why not just take the Uchiha's body which can handle the Sharingan better anyways. He first went after Itachi and got beat so went after Sasuje's body when he sensed more power in Sasuke's eyes than Itachi's so from there he wanted only Sasuke's.

Orochimaru needs a strong body in order for him not having to keep switching bodies every 3 years, so if Sasuke's body is strong enough, which Orochimaru believe it is, then he could live in that body for 30+ years until he wants a younger or better body again. The whole SM thing is wrong though, SM enhances your body so why would you need a strong body when it already enhances it? Orochimaru tried copying Juugo's clan ability into another body but couldn't find one that could handle it; he pretty much tried to do what Kabuto did with Karin, Suigetsu, Orochimaru, and the sound 5 abilities and put them in himself.

Having a strong body for SM wasn't an issue when Naruto or Jiraiya learning it and snakes/Dragon SM doesn't look to give as much enhancements when you compare them.

He wants him for his bigger plan! He did know about Indra. He felt the deep power inside him > Itachis. He saw his potential > Madara. HE will take Sasukes Body after the final fight. He is the Demon who led kaguya to the fruit

being part of akatsuki he knew of rinnegan and through research he theorized sharingan evolves to the latter.

part one he had juugo,kimmimaroo kaguyas descendent (bone style),and ofc sauke,the only.thing he lacked was knowledge of transmigrant because he couldnt decipher uchiha stone.

Because Sasuke's eyes had the potential to be the strongest and even surpass Madara's.

Because Sasuke had that Indra inside of him.
