He played 12 Premier League games but failed to produce the goods. However, he remains subject to intense transfer speculation.

Per reports from German outlet Kicker, Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Sanches ahead of tabling an official bid.

The French champions are already close to securing the services of one Bayern Munich player in the shape of Juan Bernat.

The club are keen to make it two Bayern acquisitions by signing Sanches, too.

The 21-year-old burst onto the scene with Benfica.

Following a stint in Portugal, Bayern Munich drafted him in for a reported £30 million, fending off competition from plenty of sides including Manchester United.
