„Corriere dello Sport“ claims that „Milan“ has made the first official offer in January to acquire Sanches, who belongs to the „Lille“ club. „Milan“ already maintains good working relations with „LOSC Lille“ club, as confirmed by the goalkeeper Mike Maignan's transfer between the clubs last summer. This is also confirmed by „le10sport“, however, they warn that the deal has not been signed yet, and „Arsenal“ is taking very confident steps to acquire the Portuguese and will soon take real action. Renato Sanches, who revived his career last year, helped „Lille“ become champions of the French league and could have joined the „Barcelona“ team this summer, but they could not agree on a transfer fee acceptable to both sides.
