Renato Sanches, the 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 another mixed season due to physical problems. He will try to relaunch his career at Panathinaikos, as he confirmed and explained to Gazzetta upon his arrival at the airport.
Sanches: “The Panathinaikos coach was my first coach.”
“I knew Panathinaikos was a great team. The Panathinaikos coach was my first coach, so it was easy for me to say yes and come. I wanted to come to help the club have a good season and win titles.”
There is no doubt that Sanches is joining the Turkish club in an attempt to relaunch his career. The decisive factor is still the same: finally managing to string together games without another physical setback (often muscular). At least he is reunited with a coach who has brought out the best in him and who can help him regain his confidence. This is in an ambitious club that wants to win. It’s an interesting challenge. We can only wish him success.
