AC Milan are still interested in signing Renato Sanches from Lille and talks with his agent Jorge Mendes are continuing, according to a report.
Milan have been heavily linked with a move for Sanches over the past few weeks and months amid uncertainties about how the midfield might look heading into the 2022-23 season, with Franck Kessie set to depart and doubts about others like Tiemoue Bakayoko.
This morning’s edition of il Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) takes a look at Milan’s plans not just for the January window but also for the summer when they could make some moves in the middle of the park.
Sanches is a target but it is an operation that could blossom in June, when the Rossoneri will most likely lose Kessie on a free transfer. The Lille midfielder has the same agent as Rafael Leao – Jorge Mendes – with whom the club are working to extend the winger’s contract.
