For more than a year, AC Milan have been ‘seducing’ Renato Sanches and preparing the ground for the transfer this summer. And when it seemed that they finally succeeded, PSG suddenly appeared, ready to pay more and steal their main target.According to the most influential French media, PSG started the operation of bringing Sanches today. The engine of this story is the new director of the French club, Luis Campos, and both hands for the transfer were raised by the future coach Christophe Galtier, who should leave Nice in the next few days and take over PSG.📰 @Santi_J_FM: #PSG interested in Renato #Sanches. #Milan offer €15m but Lille want double that. #Milan already have an agreement with the player but #Paris want to catch up. pic.twitter.com/U9I9xyc5tZ— Milan Posts 🏆🇮🇹 (@MilanPosts) June 18, 2022 Campos and Galtier worked together in Lille from 2017 to 2020 and revived Sanches’ career. The Portuguese was a wonderboy from Benfica when Bayern bought him for big money and kidnapped him in front of Manchester United, paying 35 million euros and bonuses. He never achieved the mentioned bonuses because he did not fit in Munich and it turned out to be quite an underwhelming experience. After only a year, he was sent on loan to Swansea, but he was a disappointment there as well. He tried to impose himself on Ancelotti and Kovac at Bayern, but failed, and after three years he definitely left Munich when Lille paid 20 million euros for his transfer.It was a risky bet by Campos, but a man with an incredible ‘sixth sense’ for young players succeeded. With the help of coach Galtier. Together, they brought back Sanches’ lost self-confidence, revived his career and the Portuguese was one of the main players of Lille’s champion generation from the 2020/21 season. Even then, Paolo Maldini wanted him in Milan, but he could not pay for him. Lille insisted on a buyout clause of 40 million euros.PSG ‘saved up’ 7.7 million euros a year for Skriniar’s salary – transfer compensation could be an obstacleMilan’s director did not give up and waited for this summer when the Portuguese will enter the last year of the contract and forced Lille to sell him at a reasonable price. The departure of Franck Kessie only accelerated Milan’s pressure and Maldini agreed a deal with the player worth 3 million euros per season. All that was left is for Lille to approve it.AC Milan offered between 15 million and 18 million euros, the French asked for 30 million, they were reluctant, but in the end they would give in because the player wanted to move to San Siro.All of a sudden – PSG appeared out of nowhere, ready to pay 30 million euros. Campos and Galtier have no financial restrictions, they can overcome any offer from Milan and they hope that the job will be completed soon. Only the player himself can stop the new wave, but since he can earn more in Paris than in Milan, it is unlikely that he will stick to the agreement with Maldini.Marseille disappointed as Axel Witsel chooses Madrid – Cholo got his number “five”Half of the midfielders of the Paris Saints have been put on the transfer list this summer. PSG want to sell Danilo, Herrera, Gueye and Paredes. Only Veratti and Wijnaldum are safe, so it is clear why Campos and Galtier want Sanches.If the Rossoneri are left without the already seen Portuguese reinforcement, AC Milan have alternatives such as Paul Fernandez from River Plate, Seko Fofana from Lens or Jordan Veretout from Roma. Also, Tomaso Pobega has returned from a loan at Torino.
