Renato Sanches requests Bayern exit

By Football Italia staff

Juventus, Milan, Chelsea and Liverpool target Renato Sanches “asked to be left out” of the Bayern Munich squad this weekend.

The midfielder only arrived a year ago from Benfica for €35m plus substantial bonuses, but struggled for playing time.

He is not included in Carlo Ancelotti’s side for this weekend and Bayern director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed a move is on the cards.

“It was Sanches who asked the Coach to be left out of the squad,” Salihamidzic told Sky Sport Deutschland.

The 20-year-old wants to sort out his future as soon as possible, with Thursday’s transfer deadline fast approaching.

Juve are open to taking Sanches on a dry loan, but Milan wanted an option to buy.

Chelsea and Liverpool have also been linked with a swoop for Renato Sanches.
