PSG in bid for Renato Sanches

PSG in bid for Renato Sanches

Portuguese international midfielder Renato Sanches is attracting significant interest - and could be set to leave Bayern Munich this window.

 The 21-year old hinted earlier this month that he will be willing to move on if that's what he deems best for his career - and he now has some thinking to do.

That's because Paris Saint Germain are keen on bringing in the midfield engine, the French outfit currently in negotiations to sign the 2016 Golden Boy.

Reports have emerged that Paris were looking to sign Sanches for as little as 15 million euros, a fee well below what Bayern would have expected, although a loan deal with a clause to make the move permanent is also thought to be under consideration. 

Bayern, it can be recalled, purchased Renato from Benfica for €35million in 2016, and loaned him out to Swansea City last campaign.

This season, he has played for Bayern 11 times in the league.
