It was supposed to be AC Milan, but in the end, Renato Sanches signed for Paris Saint-Germain! The Rossoneri director tandem Maldini – Massara fought hand and foot to provide Stefano Pioli with the desired reinforcement in the midfield, however, the Portuguese midfielder’s desire to continue his career in Paris prevailed, which Lille ultimately complied with despite earning less money than what the Italian champions were offering…PSG officially confirmed the arrival of the Lille midfielder who signed a five-year contract, while 15 million euros will be paid as compensation. A little less than what Milan were offering to get Sanches to wear the red and black shirt…🔴 #WelcomeRenato 🔵 pic.twitter.com/iJtcqiHt4v— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) August 4, 2022 The French giant spent a little more than 105 million euros on new signings this summer without too much fanfare. Sanches is their fifth signing, after Vitinha who was signed from Porto for 41.5 million euros, Nuno Mendes from Sporting for 38 million, Nordi Mukiele from Leipzig for 12 million euros and Hugo Ekitike from Reims on a one-year loan.The EURO 2016 champion with Portugal and the officially chosen Golden Boy of the same year gets a new chance to show himself on the biggest stage. After the failed episode with Bayern and the big mistake he made by transferring to Munich as an unpolished pearl, Sanches made a great move by transferring to Lille, where he got his career back on track and now it’s time to show what caliber he really is.##NAJAVA_MECA_6541704##Christophe Galtier got what he wanted. After all, he knows very well what to expect from the player since they worked together in Lille, where he revived his career. He wanted to make the biggest changes in the midfield, and he succeeded because Leandro Paredes and Giorginio Wijnaldum are close to moving to Juventus and Roma, respectively, while their places will be filled by Sanchez and Vitinha, who already made his debut in a convincing triumph against Nantes in the French Super Cup.Sanches will give Galtier some serious tactical versatility, given that he was a proper playmaker last season in Lille, contributing both defensively and offensively, depending on the squad’s setup.
