Another chapter is known in the uncertainty surrounding the future of Renato Sanches, after having completed his second stint with Benfica. Touted as a possible reinforcement for Rui Vitória, who coaches Panathinaikos, the press reveals that the Portuguese's destination may end up elsewhere.

O Jogo newspaper writes, citing the French L’ Èquipe, the former European champion for Portugal, who has a contract with PSG until 2027, could be diverted from Greece and end up in Turkey, where he could be a reinforcement for the national three-time champion, Galatasaray.

The French daily assured that a decision has not yet been made and that the French champion, as well as the European, together with the player, is evaluating the two proposals on the table. On the Athenians' part, Renato Sanches counts on a one-season loan. However, the terms of the Turkish offer are unknown.

It is worth remembering that the Portuguese midfielder returned last season to Glorioso, in an attempt to relaunch his career, something that did not materialize. Back in Paris, the former number 85 of the incarnates knows that he is not in Luis Enrique's plans and, therefore, will have to look for a new professional future.

In the 24/25 season, with the Benfica jersey, Renato Sanches - currently valued at 3 million euros - played 21 matches: 10 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, three in the League Cup, three in the Club World Cup and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 635 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder scored one goal, against Auckland City.
