Barcelona interested in 23yo Ligue 1 midfielder as Saul alternative – report
FC Barcelona are interested in signing Renato Sancho from Lille OSC. According to Spanish news outlet Diario AS, the Catalonian club is reportedly chasing the Portuguese’s signature to bolster their midfield. If the reported swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann doesn’t occur, manager Ronald Koeman is looking to bring in the 23-year-old who would be the perfect midfield recruit.

The failure to land prime target Georginio Wijnaldum meant that the Spanish giants were forced to look elsewhere. Jorge Mendes, Sanches’ agent, could negotiate a loan deal with an obligation to buy next season, which would alleviate Barcelona’s economic situation. The Spanish club is in a...

The 35-year-old is out of contract at Crystal Palace, but the Eagles want him to stay and sign a new deal. However, while Rangers are ready to meet his demands, Palace’s offer is less basic cash, with extras for appearances.
