Bursting onto the scene at Benfica before seeing his career somewhat stagnate at Bayern Munich, Renato Sanches found a new lease of life at Lille.
A key element of the Ligue 1 side’s team who won the title last season under Christophe Galtier, the Portugal international was thought to potentially be a sacrifice in the summer.
He eventually stayed, but that could change in January, as Wolverhampton Wanderers are planning a potential bid in January for the midfielder.
Facing some early season struggles under new manager Bruno Lage, Wolves have since found a run of form, winning three of their last five Premier League games, and currently sit 8th in the table.
They’ll want to ensure that continues once the new year arrives, and some reinforcements could go a long way.
Foot Mercato are reporting that Wolverhampton’s offer could reach €25m, with the transfer allowing Sanches to find eight Portuguese players at the Molineux, thus making any adaptation very easy.
Lille’s president, Olivier Létang recently admitted that his star player could leave ‘if an offer from a big club arrives’, and that’s exactly what could happen in the coming weeks.
