Renato Sanches offered to Chelsea
Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that Chelsea are interested in a season long loan deal for 19-year-old Renato Sanches. The Portuguese international failed to impress last season and made only 19 appearances under Carlo Ancelotti. Evening Standard reports that the Bavarians do not want to sell Sanches and are only willing to send him out on loan. Rummenigge said of Chelsea's interest, "Conte asked for some information about him after Tuesday’s match because he knows he can make the difference on the pitch."
