Renato Sanches leaves PSG, Sevilla route opens but immediate move unlikely | OneFootball

Renato Sanches has cut ties with PSG, creating an unexpected opening for Sevilla, though an immediate move appears unlikely.

Fabrizio Romano said the decision was taken on Tuesday night, leaving the Portugal midfielder free to sign even after the window closed. Diario de Sevilla reported Sevilla explored the option in the penultimate week of the summer market.

The 29-year-old has been chasing stability after three straight loans at Roma, Benfica and Panathinaikos.

He turned down proposals from Saudi Arabia, Brazil and MLS, prioritising European competition. His exit should ease the search for a new home, and Sevilla could yet keep tabs.

Sevilla opted for a different profile to complete the squad. Youssouf Fofana arrived late in the window on loan from Milan for Luis García Plaza’s side, which wanted defensive work, range and balance.

As things stand, Sanches cannot be registered. The 25 senior places are full, and free-agent status does not override that limit.

Finances are another obstacle, with Sevilla close to their Fair Play ceiling after this summer’s business. For now he must look elsewhere, although January could open a door if an outgoing creates room in the squad and budget.
