Since this Thursday evening, Renato Sanches is officially a player of the PSG. After several weeks of negotiations with the LOSCthe capital club has announced the signing of the soon to be 25-year-old Portuguese (August 18) for the next five seasons, i.e. until June 2027. However, we will have to wait a few more days before seeing the 2016 European champion play his first official match. Indeed, because of his desires to leave, the native of Lisbon did not take part in any preparation match with the Dogues. Thus, he will have to find an optimal physical condition before starting the marathon de matches which awaits the Rouge & Bleu in the weeks and months to come. “He will be behind his partners in terms of preparation as he was waiting for his transfer. He is a player who knows how to break lines and who can also do good in the defensive aspect”had stated in particular Christophe Galtier at a press conference on Thursday.
First collective training with his new teammates for Renato Sanches
But as revealed by PSG through his account Twitter, Renato Sanches took its first steps in Lodge Camp this Friday morning. Indeed, the Portuguese international (32 caps, 3 goals) was present at the day’s session at the training center. If the Portuguese will most certainly not be on the trip to Clermont this Saturday (9 p.m. on Canal Plus Offset), Christophe Galtier can count on a whole group with the suspension return of Kylian Mbappe and the eventual premiere ofHugo Ekitike.
