Renato Sanches is in Barcelona’s sights, and unlike a few months ago Lille are open to allowing the Portuguese midfielder to leave the club according to a report in Mundo Deportivo.

Oliver Letang, the president of the French club, revealed in recent comments that should a good offer come in for Sanches from a big club he’ll be allowed to leave, although he maintained that the player is content with life at Lille.
