AC Milan still believe that they can eventually get the signing of Renato Sanches over the line despite the current difficulties, a report claims.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are still firm in their conviction to focus on Renato Sanches as he is the man who has been picked as Franck Kessié’s replacement. The negotiations have been going on for months and there was a draft agreement in place, but the competition from PSG has complicated things.
The preference of the player is to move to Paris because he is enthusiastic about the idea of reuniting with head coach Christophe Galtier and sporting director Luis Campos, who held those same roles at Lille during their 2020-21 Ligue 1 title win.
However, Milan have an agreement with Lille on the basis of a €15m transfer fee with bonuses included. The position of Maldini is that he wants to try until the end to get the Portugal international and on Monday he spoke with agent Jorge Mendes, who left the door slightly open.
PSG at the moment are not moving, but Sanches continues to wait for a call from them while also aware that he will not be able to stall indefinitely because he needs a new club this summer. Milan meanwhile moved concretely and showed how much he wants them.
