The very short playing time of Renato Sanches (27 years old) at Benfica, where he is loaned with an option to buy by PSG, makes a former manager of the Lisbon club who attacks Paris jump.
The return of Renato Sanches (27 years old) to his training club is, for the moment, not a real success. Loaned with an option to purchase since last summer by PSG, the midfielder has only played eight games, including two as a starter. This starving playing time and his physical fragility (he experienced a problem with his hamstrings), greatly annoys Gaspar Ramos, former vice-president of the club who attacked PSG's lack of consideration. In an interview with Antena 1, he deplored the similar failures encountered by two other Parisian players loaned to Benfica in recent seasons, Juan Bernat and Julian Draxler.
“Benfica cannot be subjected to these situations”
“They throw them at us here to assess whether they can be useful to them in the future, and Benfica cannot be subjected to these situations,” he lamented in his comments reported by the Portuguese press. “Besides the financial aspects, which are, in this situation, secondary, there is above all the sporting aspect. When we make this recruitment, the goal is to strengthen the team to win, because that is the main objective of the team, to win.”
Gaspar Ramos is also surprised by the decision of the leaders in place to validate this type of agreement. “We observed this problem with little attention, these decisions which were taken for one reason or another even if I do not believe that there is any servitude towards PSG. Benfica's interests are above all. everything and the people who run Benfica must always take into consideration, above all, the interests of Benfica.”
One thing is certain for him, Benfica will not exercise the purchase option on the Portuguese international. “There is no question of it, that would be pure madness,” he says. “It doesn't occur to me, as a Benfica fan and as a person, that whoever is running the club at the moment would make such a decision, it doesn't occur to me.”
