West Ham United could have signed Renato Sanches before the Bayern Munich youngster moved on loan to Swansea City in the summer transfer window.
West Ham United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to David Sullivan’s revelation about Renato Sanches.
The West Ham co-chairman has told the club’s official website that the Hammers could have signed Sanches from Bayern Munich before he joined Swansea City in the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old midfielder moved to Premier League club Swansea on a season-long loan deal from German giants Bayern on transfer deadline day.
The Portugal international is a highly rated young player who joined Bayern from Benfica in the summer of 2016 for an initial transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £27.5 million.
Sanches failed to establish himself in the Bayern first team last season and was able to make only six starts in the Bundesliga, according to WhoScored.
West Ham co-chairman Sullivan has revealed on the club’s official website that the London outfit could have signed Sanchez.
The 68-year-old Welsh businessman has disclosed that the 20-year-old was offered to Slaven Bilic before his move to Swansea, but the West Ham manager did not want him as he was happy with the squad that he had.
