Longo: Next 48-72 hours decisive as Milan remain optimistic of closing Sanches deal

Renato Sanches has been linked with a move to AC Milan ever since the January window and as a result of the recent delays on the mercato, the Rossoneri could now miss out. They haven’t given up just yet, though. 

Yesterday, the news broke that Paris Saint-Germain are ready to enter the race for the Lille midfielder and as often happens when they are involved, they offer a lot more than the competition. And that could be the case here.

According to Daniele Longo, Milan have an agreement with Sanches on the basis of a four-year contract worth €3m plus bonuses per year. The Rossoneri have also put €15m plus €3m in bonuses on the table for Lille.

Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks with Jorge Mendes, Sanches’ agent, but they are yet to put an official offer on the table. If the talks of a €30m offer are correct, as the reporter continues, then Milan will not match it.

The next 48-72 hours will be decisive for the future of Sanches as Luis Campos, the new PSG director, wants the player but also need to close the arrival of manager Cristophe Galtier first. Milan, at the moment, have no plan B as Sanches has been the plan A for seven months.
