News is breaking in Germany that Bayern Munich have beaten Manchester United to the signature of Benfica wonderkid Renato Sanches.
The news has been confirmed on the Bundesliga's official Twitter account and comes as a huge blow to United, who were believed to be the frontrunners for the young midfielder's signature.
Sanches has signed a five-year-deal with the German champions and will likely join Mats Hummels as their second signing for the upcoming 16/17 season. The deal for the 18-year-old is believed to be worth an initial 35m euros with Benfica saying that another 45m could come their way in bonuses, making Sanches a potential 80m euro acquisition for the Bavarian giants.
