Loaned last year to AS Roma, Renato Sanches will not play this season either with PSG, who officially loaned him this Monday to Benfica, with an option to buy.
Arriving from Lille in the summer of 2022, Renato Sanches has never managed to establish himself since joining Paris Saint-Germain. Hampered by repeated injuries, the Portuguese international was unable to settle in permanently in the squad then coached by Christophe Galtier. In the summer of 2023, he was loaned to AS Roma but he was injured again and did not convince José Mourinho. Back in Paris, he would leave again, this time to join Benfica.
This Monday, PSG published a press release to confirm that the Lisbon club would be the midfielder’s next home. A place that Sanches knows well since it is where he was trained and revealed himself ten years ago before leaving in 2016 for Bayern Munich. The Portuguese international is on loan with an option to buy.
Value in free fall
The amount of this option is not known, but the player has continued to lose his value over the last few years. Recruited for thirty-five million euros by Bayern, he then cost Losc twenty million before being sold to PSG for fifteen million. It remains to be seen whether the twenty-six-year-old will manage to find his football again and especially whether he will be rid of his incessant physical problems.
For Paris, it is in any case one player less in the squad. The capital club recently moved up a gear in the transfer window with Joao Neves, the second recruit with Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov who arrived several weeks ago.
