Renato Sanches, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old midfielder under contract until 2027, has returned on loan to Benfica Lisbon after a mixed season with AS Roma due to further physical problems. This Thursday, Record reports that the Portuguese club has already decided on the player’s future.
“Benfica and Rui Costa want to KEEP RENATO SANCHES for next season!
Discussions are currently underway with PSG. Benfica also have a €10m purchase option.

Renato Sanches is an excellent player who is very attached to Benfica, his formative club. He has been able to regain some playing time this season and could be convincing. However, there’s no guarantee, and the physical worries have not gone away, despite the fact that he has only played 366 minutes so far.
Benfica may well consider keeping him, although this may depend on what happens next. There could also be negotiations for a transfer price lower than the purchase option. There’s nothing concrete yet, so let’s wait and see. In any case, we suspect that Sanches won’t be playing for PSG again, and he could be happy to stay at Benfica.
