From France: Milan target Renato Sanches in Paris to finalise PSG move

According to Foot Mercato, Milan target Renato Sanches is in Paris to finalise his move to PSG.

The Portugal international had emerged as Milan’s priority target to replace the departing Franck Kessié who has signed with Barcelona and will join the Catalans as a free agent.

Milan had offered €18m to sign Renato Sanches who has refused to extend his contract expiring in 2023 with Lille. However, PSG have pounced on the player and are open to offering up to €30m, a fee that the Serie A champions are not open to matching.

Foot Mercato is now reporting that Sanches has flown to Paris from Portugal, where he was spending his holidays, to negotiate with PSG along with his agent Jorge Mendes.

The goal is to reach a total agreement and finalise the deal. Lille are expected to begin their pre-season tomorrow, but it remains to be seen if Sanches will join his teammates.
