AC Milan 'identify' Renato Sanches as potential replacement for Franck Kessie

AC Milan has identified Renato Sanches as the man they want to replace Franck Kessie with next year, as per Gazzetta dello Sport.

Kessie could leave the Serie A giants for free after his contract expires next summer, as he’s been linked with clubs like PSG, Barcelona, and Man United.

But, Milan are ready to replace him with the Portuguese powerhouse – who has impressed for Lille in Ligue 1.

The Italian club has already contacted his agent Jorge Mendes to discuss details about a potential future move.

Moreover, Milan also shares a very good working relationship with Lille and could use that to sign Sanches.

Renato has made 8 appearances for Lille this season, registering one assist.
