Renato Sanches could make a completely unexpected move in an attempt to revive his career. A free agent since terminating his contract with PSG, the 29-year-old Portuguese midfielder is moving closer to Corinthians. The Brazilian club is reportedly stepping up its efforts with a second offer.
After PSG, AS Roma, Benfica and a final loan spell at Panathinaikos, Renato Sanches is still searching for a fresh start. His time in Paris officially came to an end this summer when his contract, which had originally been due to run until 2027, was terminated.
Corinthians Step Up Their Pursuit of Renato Sanches
His priority had been to remain in Europe. According to Foot Mercato, advanced talks took place with Getafe but failed to result in an agreement. The Euro 2016 winner is even said to have turned down financially attractive offers from Saudi Arabia and MLS in order to prioritize that option.
With no European solution emerging, however, the Portuguese midfielder has reportedly opened the door to a move to Brazil. Several clubs are said to be interested, but Corinthians have clearly emerged as the leading contender. The São Paulo giants have already submitted a second offer to the former PSG midfielder, with negotiations progressing in an attempt to reach an agreement.
At just 29, Sanches still has time to revive a career that has been heavily disrupted by injuries. His talent has rarely been questioned, but fitness problems have prevented him from finding consistency in recent seasons. Brazil could now offer the former PSG player the fresh start he has been waiting for.
