Sky: Why Renato Sanches chose PSG over Milan; Ziyech track remains alive

AC Milan have suffered another setback in their pursuit of a main target but they remain hopeful of signing a forward, a report claims.

Gianluca Di Marzio spoke last night during his Sky segment Calciomercato L’originale (via MilanNews) and he gave a brief update on Milan’s mercato, beginning with the situation surrounding Renato Sanches.

He claims that the Portuguese midfielder ‘waited for Milan’, but then PSG joined the race to sign him and they had a significant card to play in their favour. Their new sporting director Luis Campos is the man who brought him to Lille from Bayern Munich, and in the end Sanches preferred to go to his old mentor.

With him now heading for the French capital Milan will miss out on a concrete target, but they will now concentrate above all on defensive department and will continue to try and get a deal done for Hakim Ziyech.
