Renato Sanches 

Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches is undergoing medical tests in Lisbon ahead of a loan move to Benfica from PSG, with a buy option clause included in the deal, reportedly worth around €10m.

In a move that was part of the negotiations for João Neves' transfer to PSG, Renato Sanches is set to return to his homeland and join Benfica on a loan deal. The Portuguese midfielder is currently undergoing medical tests in Lisbon, paving the way for his return to the Primeira Liga.

The loan agreement includes a buy option clause, giving Benfica the opportunity to make the move permanent for a reported fee of around €10m. This transfer marks a homecoming for Sanches, who began his professional career at Benfica before moving to Bayern Munich and later PSG.

Sanches' return to Benfica is a significant boost for the club, bringing experience and talent to the midfield. The loan deal with a buy option allows Benfica to reassess their squad and finances before committing to a permanent transfer.

As part of the larger agreement that saw João Neves join PSG, Renato Sanches' move to Benfica highlights the intricate nature of modern football transfers. With the medical tests underway, Sanches is set to embark on a new chapter in his career, back where it all began.
