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 on loan with AS Roma, which was mixed due to further physical problems. There was talk of an end to the loan this summer, but the player was seen training with the Portuguese team ahead of the Club World Cup.
It’s not enough to be sure that Renato Sanches will be transferred to Benfica next season, but it’s at least a sign that he hasn’t been “let go” and that his loan continues at least for the Club World Cup. Like other Parisians.
Without an official announcement, it’s difficult to see things clearly. Negotiations for the remainder of the contract seem at least conceivable. This could depend on the Portuguese midfielder’s performance during the tournament. And his ability to finally play a series of matches without injury.
