Renato Sanches confirms he is ready to leave Bayern Munich

Renato Sanches has admitted he wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer.

The 21-year-old midfielder joined the Bundesliga giants from Benfica in a €35 million (£30m/$40m) deal in 2016 but has been unable to make an impact in Bavaria.

The Portugal international spent last season on loan at Swansea but failed to impress and things have not picked up since his return to Munich.
