Renato Sanches has had a disappointing season at Bayern Munich and could make way. Tottenham should take a punt.
Portugal’s Renato Sanches was Europe’s in demand talent a year ago
This season’s breakthrough star is the ludicrously priced Kylian Mbappe but he should be wary about making the wrong move.
Last year Europe’s in demand sensation was Benfica winger Renato Sanches who sparked a transfer scramble which Bayern Munich won ahead of Manchester United.
Bayern paid £29 million for the Portuguese international, but he has been a major flop at the German side and could be sold.
Portugal’s Renato Sanches finds the target
German outlet Focus is one many to cite Kicker claiming Sanches could be sold after just one season as Bayern seek to cut their losses.
Why Tottenham should rescue Sanches from Bundesliga nightmare
Manchester United could be interested again but Sanches could run into similar trouble at a club where the expectation like at Bayern is simply huge.
Tottenham are a better fit and head coach Mauricio Pochettino has a track record of helping talented young players develop and fulfil their potential.
The move to Wembley next season could suit Sanches with the expansive space allowing the winger extra areas in which to run and cause trouble for the opposition.
Renato Sanches has frequently been on the bench for Bayern
The idea of buying low on a potential superstar should be tempting to the usually shrewd Daniel Levy, and if Sanches fulfils his potential then bringing him in could be a masterstroke.
Liverpool did so successfully with Coutinho when his bright start stunted at Inter Milan, and Sanches is a talent with a similarly high upside if he can get right.
With question marks existing over Tottenham’s Erik Lamela and no winger they have bought in recent seasons stepping up, Sanches is a player worth taking a punt on, and make a statement to the rest of Europe in the process.
