Renato Sanches Insists He 'Just Wants to Play' as Bit-Part Role at Bayern Munich Continues

Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches has admitted he is frustrated with his reduced role at the club, hinting that he is open to a summer move.

The 21-year-old was once regarded as one of the finest young prospects in world football after some remarkable displays for Portugal helped his country surprisingly win the European Championship in 2016.

But Sanches' career has been somewhat of a downward curve since then, with a €35m (potentially rising to €80m) move to Bayern Munich failing to work out as expected, coupled with a disastrous loan spell at Swansea last year.
