Door Shut in Paris: Renato Sanches Out of Favor Even Amidst Absences

Renato Sanches' time at PSG appears to be definitively over. Any lingering doubts have been erased during this pre-season.

After being informed he is not part of manager Luis Enrique's plans, the Portuguese international midfielder has been training separately. He joins other players deemed surplus to requirements by the Parisian coach, including Randal Kolo Muani, Naoufel El Hannach, Yoram Zague, and Noah Nsoki.

According to Le Parisien, even with several first-team absences this Wednesday, Luis Enrique opted to call up youth academy players rather than work with those deemed expendable. This move firmly places the latter group on the transfer list. 

Among the quintet, the Portuguese midfielder, who has spent the last three seasons on loan at Roma, Benfica, and Panathinaikos, is one of those whose future remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Kolo Muani is reportedly close to a move to Juventus, and El Hannah is expected to join Montpellier.
