Mediaset: Milan agree €18m deal for midfielder but Juventus are eyeing a hijack

AC Milan and Juventus could well be set for a summer battle to land Renato Sanches this summer, according to a report.

SportMediaset (via TMW) claim that Juventus have not let go of the idea of signing Sanches and the Portuguese midfielder is one of the targets on their wish list as they look for an upgrade on quality in the middle of the park.

However, the 24-year-old is in demand because the Rossoneri are also keen on signing him to help replace Franck Kessie numerically and at the moment it is Milan who are further ahead in the race to sign him.

There is an agreement between Milan and the Ligue 1 club on the basis of a deal worth €18m but the obstacle is the personal terms requested by Renato Sanches, who wants €6m net per season on a multi-year deal.

If Milan decide that they are not going to satisfy the demands and the player does not lower them, it could leave the field free to an attempt by Juventus.
