Daniele Rossi has worked some miracles at AS Roma. Since taking over the team after the departure of José Mourinho, the Italian has allowed the Louve club to move from 8th to 5th place in Serie A. The Romans have also qualified for the 1/2 finals of the Europa League. In short, the change made by the Friedkins had the desired effect. But De Rossi could not only do wonders. Indeed, the former member of the house did not really succeed in relaunching Renato Sanches. In the tough at Paris Saint-Germain, the Portuguese was pushed towards the exit, just one year after his arrival from Lille for almost 15 million euros.
15 minutes played in 2024
It must be said that among the Ile-de-France residents, he did not really impress, having made 5 stays in the infirmary last season (111 days of absence, 19 missed matches). In the end, he only appeared 27 times in all competitions, but only 8 times as a starter (2 goals). An inevitably disappointing result for PSG and the player, who wanted to make up for it during his second season. But the French champion team did not want to see more and exfiltrated him to a friendly club, namely AS Roma. Like Georginio Wijnaldum the previous season and Leandro Paredes this year, Renato Sanches joined the Italian capital in the form of a loan with an option to buy 15 million euros.
An interesting way out for the former Bayern Munich player, who was going to try to relaunch himself under the orders of his compatriot José Mourinho. But the Special One couldn’t do anything for him. Coming into play for 26 minutes against Salernitana on August 20, he then joined the infirmary for a month due to muscular problems (21 days of absence, 2 missed matches). Then, he was on his side again 5 other times (thigh strain, muscle fatigue on two occasions, flu infection, ankle extension). In total, he was absent for 124 days! The 26-year-old has missed 22 matches in all competitions.
A new start this summer
Whether it’s Mourinho or De Rossi, who has only used it twice (15 minutes in total) since taking over; Renato Sanches failed to get back on track (11 matches played, 3 starts, 1 goal this season). For all these reasons, La Louve has decided not to exercise its purchase option. She also wanted to part with it from the winter transfer window. But things didn’t really happen at the gate and the Portuguese was very demanding, indicating that he only wanted to play in Portugal or France. He had refused approaches from Türkiye (Besiktas) and Greece (Panathinaikos). A few months later, his point of view is surely likely to change, since he is still suffering from injuries and has only played 2 matches in 2024. This Monday, FotoMaç reveals that three Turkish teams are ready to welcome him this summer.
In addition to Besiktas, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are in the mix. They have also started to test the waters. Like them, Olympiakos is also very interested in the idea of recruiting him. Good news for Paris Saint-Germain, who are not counting on him and want to get rid of him. FotoMaç assures that he will leave the capital club this summer. But for what price? As we know, his purchase option in Rome was set at 15 million euros. But between the level displayed and the numerous injuries, it will be complicated for PSG to limit the damage. The market value of the Portuguese, under contract until 2027, is currently estimated at 8 million euros according to transfermarkt. PSG and especially Luis Campos, who brought him in, will have to work extra hard to succeed in placing him elsewhere, at a price that suits them.
