Does anyone still remember Renato Sanches?

Despite high expectations, Renato Sanches failed to break through and become a star of Portuguese football.

Sanches had to move to Greece to play football.

Last summer, Sanches left PSG to join Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League on loan until the end of the season. After 3 matches, the 28-year-old midfielder has yet to score or provide an assist.

Before moving to Greece, Sanches had previously played for AS Roma and Benfica on loan for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, but without much success. His declining form made it easy for coach Luis Enrique to drop him from the squad upon his return to PSG.

Sanches possessed exceptional qualities and shone from a very young age. However, he was unable to maintain consistency. Portuguese football fans have reason to regret the loss of such a powerful midfielder.

Back in the summer of 2016, European football fans followed the every move of a young man from Portugal. Sanches possessed the strength of a warrior, the skill of an artist, and a distinctive hairstyle.

At the age of 18, Sanches captivated the audience with his outstanding performances, playing a crucial role in Portugal's historic Euro 2016 victory. That was the peak, the promising beginning of a brilliant career.

However, while playing for Bayern Munich and PSG, the immense pressure from expectations, coupled with injuries and a decline in form, prevented Sanches from shining.

Looking back on his career, Sanches possessed all the qualities to become one of the world's top midfielders. He was once the hope of an entire generation. However, poor decisions and persistent injuries prevented Sanches from reaching the heights he deserved.
