DBasia.news – Lille midfielder Renato Sanches is rumored to have a verbal pact with AC Milan, but now they need to rush to finalize the deal given Juventus have entered the hunt.
Calciomercato highlighted how Sanches could have joined the Rossoneri in the last few days of the January transfer window given the Serie A giants had already taken concrete steps to bring him to Milanello, but the transaction evaporated as Les Dogues preferred to postpone his sale until next summer.
The Portugal international has already promised himself to Milan, but that now needs to be turned into a concrete deal to avoid other clubs stepping in and hijacking the deal. In this regard, the Bianconeri have entered the hunt for him considering they are looking to overhaul their midfield.
Therefore, the competition is still open, but right now the Rossoneri are still in pole position to secure the services of the 24-year-old midfielder, although as mentioned earlier there must be a point where everything needs to be agreed, or he will join another club.
As is well known, Sanches is the No. target. 1 Milan to replace Franck Kessie who will leave the club on a free transfer at the end of this season.
However, in addition to having to reach an agreement with Lille regarding the transfer fee, the management will also face competition from Juventus, which seems to be serious about signing the former Benfica and Bayern Munich star.
