Joao Cancelo is on his way to Inter Milan

Juventus in for Renato Sanches

After having a €75 million bid rejected for Real Madrid's Matteo Kovacic, Juventus are set to pursue an interest in Renato Sanches. The Bayern Munich midfielder is not in Carlo Ancelotti's plans this season with the club searching a buyer for the youngster. Bayern are ready to let Sanches go even on a loan or have set a price of €40 million for the Portuguese international. Juventus have already signed Blaise Matuidi this summer and are looking to bring in another midfielder before the window closes.

The right-back has been a long-term target for the Italian giants and is expected to have his medical tomorrow. Cancelo bid adieu to the Mestalla faithful last night after the final whistle.
