In 2016, the rapidly shining Portuguese football talent Renato Sanches is already practically forgotten by the majority of football fans.
The 21-year-old midfielder of Munich's "Bayern" team was acquired in 2016. In his first season, the Portuguese player showed some promise, but later his role in the Bavarian team diminished. In the summer of 2017, the midfielder was loaned to the "Swansea" club, but the "Premier" league football was also unfamiliar to R. Sanches.
Under Niko Kovač, the midfielder from Portuguese football also cannot rejoice. This season, R. Sanches played in 21 matches, but he mostly watched from the bench. As the player himself claims, after the season, it would be best for him to move to another club.
"I'm not happy being here. I work a lot, but still don't get the opportunity to play," - said R. Sanches to the "Kicker" publication.
"I'm concerned about the current situation. I want to play much more, maybe I could do that in another club," - added the player.
"Bayern" paid 35 million euros for R. Sanches. The deal also included an additional 45 million euros, which were supposed to complement the "Benfica" side depending on the player's and the club's achievements.
