Panathinaikos’ announcement
“Panathinaikos PA announces Renato Sanchez’s accession to the team’s potential under the form of a loan from French Paris Saint -Germain! The 28 -year -old Portuguese midfielder is the eighth addition to the clover roster for the new season and with his football season, Greens potential.
Renato Sanchez was born on August 18, 1997 in the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. At the age of 10 he joined the Benfica Academy with his talent standing out.
The first, within the leading Portuguese club, who believed him and gave him the opportunity he needed, was Rui Vitoria! The current coach of our team, a decade ago, took the 18 -year -old Sanchez from Benfica’s second team, promoted him to the first and almost immediately struggled. The result of this decision, if anything, impressive. The young midfielder was introduced to the public as the player who changed his speed in Benfica, won his call to the “big” national team of Portugal and became one of his most valuable players at Euro 2016 when he was crowned European champion! His first season was dreamy. And it brought a great transfer for 35m euros: in Bayern Munich.
In Bavaria during his first season he competed in 25 races, winning the championship. However, in the next season he was borrowed in Welsh Swansea. Returning to Bayern in 2018 brought a second chance, but Sanchez wanted to play basic and this in Munich did not seem guaranteed. So she asked to leave and Lille made him her own. In France, indeed, he reminded everyone of the tireless machine in the midfield. His career was reborn, and after three excellent years in Lille, he “forced” the top French club, Paris Saint -Germain, to make it his own in 2022. In the starship set up in Paris, Sanchez won the 2023 championship, but then a year.
Sanchez has competed with all the Portuguese national teams, recording 32 men.
He is a real… title collector. At the top of Europe with Portugal in 2016, winning the Nations League in 2019, Portugal champion in 2015 with Benfica, German champion in 2017, 2019 and 2020 with Bayern, France champion in 2021 with Lille and 2023 with 2023 with Paris. France in 2022 and Germany in 2017 and 2019.
We welcome Renato to the Panathinaikos family! ”.
