Benfica: The endless descent into hell of Renato Sanches!

The nightmare continues. Long considered one of the biggest potentials on the football planet, Renato Sanches (27) sees his career undermined by countless physical seeds. Transferred to Paris Saint-Germain after a more than convincing passage on the Lille side, the 2016 European champion had only played 27 games (2 goals) before chaining a series of loans, at AS Roma and then in Benfica.

As a reminder, lately, Record said that the current 2nd of Liga Portugal Betclic would like to recruit him definitively for next season despite a more than fragile physical condition.

Very close to the president of the SLB, Rui Costa, Renato Sanches would indeed benefit from the confidence of his management. Yes but here, if the high spheres of the Aguias saw in him a key element for the end of the season, this new injury completely changes the situation and could therefore completely question his future in the Portuguese capital. Indeed, if the loan negotiated with PSG provides a purchase option of € 10 million, now difficult to imagine the LisBoets send such a sum for a player who continues to relapse …
