Renato Sanches, 27-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder under contract until 2027, has just returned from a season on loan with an option to buy at Benfica Lisbon. It was again a mixed season due to physical issues. We now await confirmation of his future, with Panathinaikos recently being discussed. O Jogo has announced a loan with an option to buy, while A Bola confirms that an agreement is close.
A Bola
“Renato Sanches is close to joining Panathinaikos!
The player has a preference for the Panathinaikos project, unlike that of Trabzonspor.
The player’s salary remains to be negotiated based on the matches he will play.
The Portuguese international is already said to be there. Officially, Panathinaikos has neither confirmed nor denied this information.
O Jogo
“According to OJogo, Renato Sanches is moving towards a €9 million loan with an option to buy at Rui Vitória’s Panathinaikos!”
It’s too early to fully celebrate, but several media outlets are optimistic at the same time. There’s reason to believe. Even if the transfer window is moving very quickly, with the possibility of a nasty surprise. For the moment, a very positive outlook is emerging. Sanches, hampered by numerous injuries, seemed to have no options for the future. A loan would be welcome, and the €9 million purchase option is almost a bargain.
However, it hasn’t yet been confirmed or exercised. We remain cautious. There is at least reason to believe in a real solution for Sanches. With all the same hope of seeing this talented player finally play in consecutive matches.
