Free agents are totally modern now. You simply want a bigger wage, and if you are not satisfied, you stop (or stall) negotiations until the final year of your contract and then you are in advantage: either you get what you want, or you walk away for free. Among many soon to be free agents is Renato Sanches, Lille’s midfielder, who is nearing the end of his four year deal. And he and his agent have a lot of work, since his quality displays have not gone unnoticed. And speaking of interested clubs, Barcelona was one of them. 🗣️”If it wasn’t for my injury, I would have signed for Barça this summer.” #FCB -Renato Sanches pic.twitter.com/pU1G5LEtxP— Football Talk (@Football_TaIk) November 22, 2021 Just few months ago, it was Sanches’ injury which prevented the deal between Lille and the Catalonians. “If I hadn’t been injured, I would have signed for Barca this summer. Barca and Lille already agreed, there was an agreement. At first it was a shock, then you put yourself in perspective. Football is about ups and downs and I’m used to it. I stopped thinking about interested clubs and the rest to focus on recovery” said Sanches in an interview with “La Voix du Nord”.##NAJAVA_MECA_5990703##Now, he will probably leave Lille in June as a free agent, or even maybe in January for a minimal fee, and there are plenty of suitors. “Maybe Milan and Arsenal are interested but I don’t know. Milan are a big and historic club. It’s class, I like them. I spoke with my agent, I know which clubs are calling and which are not, but I can’t tell now. But I know I’m ready. If an offer comes in, I’ll find out what’s best for me” Sanches told L’Equipe.Meteoric rise continutes: Canadian kid David is wanted by Inter to supply the goalsOne of the brightest Portuguese talents made a blockbuster move from Benfica to Bayern Munich in 2019 as a 19-year old boy, but he never justified his 4.4 billion Ksh price tag, and after a loan in Swansea, he moved to France, after managing only 53 games for Bayern in over three and a half seasons.“When I arrived at Bayern Munich, I was not ready to play in such a club. I was very young. And when I got ready, the opportunity to play with this team never came. Today I feel ready. I understand football better, I have more experience, I know what to do to play in this kind of club and that changes everything” says Sanches.
