Tuttosport: Milan could turn to Brazilian midfielder if Sanches doesn’t join

AC Milan are going to turn their attention to Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz should they miss out on Renato Sanches, a report claims.

As has been reported by Tuttosport today, Milan are making plans for if their months-long pursuit of Lille midfielder Sanches ends with the player heading to Paris Saint Germain this summer.

The Portuguese player appears more interested in a move to the French champions given they are able to offer a much more lucrative contract to the former Bayern Munich man.

Aston Villa’s Luiz is the player that the Rossoneri will turn to as he is out of contract in 2023 and he has already told the Premier League side that he will not be signing a new deal.

That means that they need to sell him this summer or next January if they are to get anything resembling his market worth, meaning a deal could be on the cards.
