Barcelona resigned to losing star man to Manchester United
BARCELONA are resigned to losing Renato Sanches to Manchester United, according to reports.
Renato Sanches is reportedly close to joining Manchester United
Sanches is being talked up as one of the biggest summer transfers and has been linked with a move to United for some time.
Portuguese newspaper A Bola claimed this week the midfielder is 'close' to agreeing terms with United in a deal that will be the biggest in Benfica's history.
It is said United’s interest in Sanches has forced the player’s release clause up to £63m, out-pricing the Spanish giants who are instead focusing on contract renewals over the summer.
Sanches has made 29 appearances in all competitions this term, scoring two goals.
