Chelsea are lining up a move for Bayern Munich wonderkid Renato Sanches and he would be the perfect addition to the club’s midfield.
The Telegraph report that the Blues are preparing to make a late bid to land the 19-year-old on loan and beat AC Milan to his signature.
Antonio Conte’s side recently played against Bayern in the International Champions Cup and the Chelsea manager is believed to have made an enquiry following the 3-2 defeat.
German heavyweights Bayern are set to send the rising star out on loan and the current Premier League champions are keen on bringing him to Stamford Bridge.
The Portugal international endured a difficult first season with Bayern following his £30million arrival and was unable to land a permanent starting position.
He made 25 appearances across all competitions and failed to register a single goal or assists.
The central midfielder announced himself by playing a starring role in Portugal’s European Championship success in 2016 and it’s believed he just needs a temporary loan switch to rediscover his top form.
This Is Futbol has picked out the three most important reasons why Chelsea need to get a deal for Sanches over the line.
Here are those three reasons, including how the teenager can help solve this pressing issue.
