Sanches found it hard to adjust to life in Germany after a big money move from Benfica. He made just 35 appearances for the club in the Bundesliga across three seasons.

Sanches is ready for another big-money move after revealing past PSG interest

Renato Sanches was a youngster when he moved to Bayern Munich and failed to shine as the move came too quickly. However, the midfielder has matured as a player at Lille and helped them to a Ligue 1 title in 2021. His impressive performances led to an international call-up to represent Portugal at Euro 2020.

Sanches’ top displays for Lille last season have also led to interest from elsewhere as Arsenal and Barcelona were among several clubs interested in signing him last year.

Still only 24, Sanches is yet to reach his peak years as an athlete and is likely to have big-money offers on the table in the near future.

Although Lille have struggled this season following the departure of several players from their title-winning season, Sanches has continued to impress. The midfielder has made 16 appearances across all competitions so far.

His season has been blighted by injuries, but he will hope for a better second half of the season.
