The Bayern Munich youngster could become a real star at West Ham United.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini brought nine new players into the London Stadium during the summer transfer window, but a succession of injuries have hindered his side’s progress.
One particular area where the Chilean will be looking to strengthen is central midfield, with Jack Wilshere proving to be unreliable from a fitness perspective and Carlos Sanchez out with a long-term injury.
With this in mind, the Hammers should consider offering Renato Sanches an escape route from his Bayern Munich nightmare.
The 21-year-old joined the Bavarian giants from Benfica in the summer of 2016, for a fee that could eventually rise to £40 million, according to BBC Sport.
He has really struggled to establish himself at the Allianz Arena, however, making just 10 Bundesliga starts.
Sanches spent the 2017/18 season on loan with Swansea City, but he was less than impressive at the Liberty Stadium.
He still is an excellent footballer, however, and he might just need a change of scenery, under the right manager, in order to fulfil his incredible potential.
And West Ham might just be the club where he is given the opportunity to flourish.
The Portuguese ace is an excellent passer of the football, and has great energy – two things that the Hammers sometimes lack in midfield.
Whether Bayern are ready to give up on Sanches remains to be seen, and whilst he would undoubtedly be a risk, West Ham should test the German club’s resolve in January.
He might not come cheap, but he could turn out to be a superstar for the Hammers.
