FC Bayern | Renato Sanches: From FCB Flop to VfL-Wolfsburg

Original text too short.

The FC Bayern was spent on the 18-year-old Renato Ranches for the 18-year-old Renato Ranches: Never and never since the German record champion has placed so much money for a player of this age group on the table as in the summer of 2016.

Happy were neither the German master nor the Portuguese national player. Ranches is considered one of the most expensive transfer flops of Bavaria history. But when the man with the RastaTainur runs again today in Germany, he does this as one of the most important and meanwhile also desirable players of the current French master.

With the OSC Lille, in the last preliminary round of VFL Wolfsburg, he wants to reach the secondary finals of the Champions League (21.00 / DAZN). The Bundesliga Club has to win, Ranches's team would already be a draw.

When I went to Bavaria in 2016, I was not ready to play for such a club. Now I feel ready for it, said the dynamic midfielder at the end of November in an interview of the French daily La Void du Word interview.

More experienced than others in the whole career

Ranches did not say that without reason. For more than five years after his change to Munich, he stands for the second time before the career jump to a well-known European association. The AC Milan and the FC Arsenal are allegedly interested in a transfer in this winter. In the summer, his change to FC Barcelona was imminent shortly. If I did not hurt myself, I would have signed at Barcelona. Barça and Lille already had an agreement, Ranches said. His knee surgery and the burst deal had been like a shock for him at first.

Also, this story shows: Ranches has experienced more with only 24 years than others in their entire career. Shortly after his contract signature at FC Bayern he won the EM title with the Portuguese national team and was honored as the best young player of the European Championship 2016. But after his first season in the Bundesliga, the Munich talked to Swansea City, after the third they sold him to Lille. In between, the Golden Boy of the European Championship 2016 also lost its place in Portugal Select and thus missed the Confer Cup 2017 and the 2018 World Cup.

At the OSC Lille he became a regular player

The change to France was the best of what Sachs happened. Here he became a regular player again, here was trusting him. After a season, the then Lille President Gerard Lopez spoke to have received for the Portuguese offers for a total of more than 200 million euros. In his second year Ranches and Lille deny the overpowering Paris Saint-Germain sensational as a French master.

Meanwhile, the midfielder seems to be greater over his club. He's certainly one of the players who can do the difference at Lille, said Wolfsburg's coach Florian Krefeld on Tuesday. Ranches themselves stayed very much: The football is a lot about heights and depths. I got used to it meanwhile.
