PSG only interested in selling, not loaning Renato Sanches out
PSG's attempts of offloading players continue, with Renato Sanches now being the focus of their departures and the one with the clearest path away from Paris.
After an injury-plagued and underwhelming season in Paris, the club is keen on parting ways with the Portuguese midfielder, who holds a contract until June 2027 but has attracted some clubs from around Europe.
Several European clubs have shown interest in the 2016 Golden Boy winner, and Roma has emerged as a prominent suitor.
Roma has been actively trying to lure Sanches since the beginning of July, proposing a loan deal with an option to buy instead of an outright transfer. Despite ongoing negotiations and positive signals from both parties, PSG's management would prefer a permanent departure for Sanches rather than a loan arrangement.
French journalist Fabrice Hawkins confirms this stance, indicating that "talks between PSG and Roma are underway." The Parisian club values Sanches "at around €20m," but Roma considers this figure "too high" and seeks to negotiate "a lower price" for the transfer of the Portugal international.
