Sky: Distance of €10m remains between Milan and Lille over Renato Sanches fee

AC Milan are still not close to striking an agreement over transfer fee with Lille over midfielder Renato Sanches, according to a report.

According to what was reported by Manuele Baiocchini on Sky (via MilanNews), Milan have chosen Renato Sanches as their reinforcement for the midfield and Renato Sanches has chosen Milan as his next club.

Therefore, finding an agreement between club and player has not been a problem with both sides very happy at the idea of joining forces ahead of the 2022-23 season, especially with Franck Kessie leaving to make room.

However, there is still a distance regarding a possible agreement with Lille as the Ligue 1 club are asking for €20m, but the Rossoneri have so far only offered €10m for the 24-year-old Portugal international.

The contractual situation of the player however favours Milan because Sanches’ contract is expiring in June 2023, so the two clubs could arrive at an agreement about halfway, therefore around €14-15m.
