Manchester United and AC Milan battle for Sanches
AC Milan have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches, according to a report in the Express.
Jose Mourinho is ready to reignite his interest in player, after he missed out on signing him last year as Sanches agreed to join Bayern. However, it is believed that the Bundesliga champions are willing to sell this summer after the player failed to make an impression last season.
Sanches, 19, is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising teenagers and AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli heaped praise on the player.
He’s a great player and we have a really good rapport with Bayern. We’re in an assessment phase but I can’t rule out this as an operation we could do.
Mourinho has been frustrated at the lack of signings this summer and may miss out on another of his targets if Sanches decides to make the move to Serie A over the Premier League.
Sanches is a player with immense natural ability but he has struggled to find consistent first-team football at the Allianz Arena.
