Renato Sanches Denied Bayern Munich Exit After Insisting Cameo Role 'Not Enough'

Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has told Renato Sanches to "calm down" after the midfielder reiterated his bit-part role in Bavaria is "not enough."

Sanches, 22, made 24 appearances for Bayern across all competitions last season, having been sidelined with injury for much of his loan at Swansea City during the 2017-18 campaign.

Bayern began the Bundesliga season with a 2-2 draw at home to Hertha Berlin on Friday. After coming on for the last few phases, Sanches told Sport1 (h/t MailOnline's Adam Shergold): "Five minutes is not enough. The situation is not good for me, this is the second time I have wanted to leave the club and they have not let me go.
