Gianluca di Marzio reports that AC Milan have failed in a late bid for Lille midfielder and Portuguese international midfielder Renato Sanches.
Talks were on today with Lille over a €25m + bonuses agreement, with the clubs reaching a deal in principle, but the player’s salary demands have killed the deal.
Milan had initially intended to go after Sanches in summer, but brought forward their timeline – the player’s demands however today have made clear that a deal is not possible in these final hours of the window.
