From starring at the Euro's to begging for game-time in one year
After winning Euro 2016 with Portugal, Renato Sanchez became Bayern Munich's star-signing. A year later, however, he is about to be loaned out.
'We will decide when we complete our signings, if we retain Renato or we loan him out for one season', Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitted.
The Portuguese wonderkid joined Bayern from Benfica for 35 million euros. He did not find his place in Ancelotti's team, despite starring at the European Championships in France.
'He needs minutes after the last six months and we need to find something that suits both parties', Rummenigge declared.
Last season, Renato barely played 900 minutes, not enough for a player of his quality and price tag. For that reason, the German giants are looking for a solution.
