Renato Sanches has reportedly emerged as a possible option for Barcelona if the Catalans can’t complete a deal for Atletico midfielder Saul Niguez.
AS report that the Portugal international’s agent, Jorge Mendes, could broker a deal that would send Sanches to the Camp Nou on loan for next season.
The deal would also include a mandatory purchase option which would give Barca time to alleviate their current financial problems before securing a permanent deal.
The report adds that Ronald Koeman remains keen on bringing in a “dynamic player” after missing out on Georgino Wijnaldum and Sanches fits the bill.
