As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are effectively waiting on the sidelines to see if they can add the Portuguese midfielder to their ranks.
Milan already have a fee agreed with the Ligue 1 side and have done for some time. The issue is that Sanches knows about the interest from Paris Saint Germain and is holding out for the Ligue 1 champions to make an approach.
They have not actually made an official approach for him yet but have been threatening to do so for many weeks.
Milan can’t compete with PSG when it comes to personal terms for the former Bayern Munich midfielder which is why they effectively have to wait until PSG end their interest before they can sign the player from Lille.
