Renato Sanches, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old midfielder under contract until 2027, has returned to Benfica Lisbon on loan with an option to buy, after a season with AS Roma under this guise, which was mixed due to further physical problems. On Thursday, journalist Romain Collet Gaudin confirmed the Portuguese press rumour that the Lisbon club wanted to keep the player.
“Confirmation of ongoing talks between PSG and Benfica for the definitive transfer of Renato Sanches to Lisbon next season!
Transfer in the region of €10m.”
We remain cautious even if there is a confirmation, since it’s not yet an official announcement. We’re well aware that this is the only way to be certain. But it’s safe to assume that PSG are open to discussion, while Benfica could still be hoping to fully relaunch a highly talented player trained at the club.
In spite of his physical problems, which remain painful. As for Sanches, a place at Paris seems to be out of the question, and the way out looks pretty good. Let’s wait and see where the discussions lead, given that the deal is far from a done deal. Whether for 10 million euros or less.
