AC Milan join Liverpool in race to sign Renato Sanches?

Liverpool reportedly face fresh competition from AC Milan for the signature of Lille midfielder Renato Sanches.

The Reds have long been linked with a swoop for the 24-year-old attacker, who is contracted with the Ligue 1 champions until 2023.

The Portugal international endured a miserable loan spell at Swansea City before re-establishing his career at Lille, although the playmaker has been frustrated by injury problems this term.

With Rossoneri likely to lose Franck Kessie on a free transfer next term, Fichajes claims that the Italian giants have identified Sanches as a potential signing.

The report continues that Stefano Pioli’s side would be willing to fork out Sanches’s annual demands of €5.5m.

Sanches has scored five goals and registered six assists in 67 appearances for Lille.
