Ancelotti admits Sanches could leave

Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that unsettled midfielder Renato Sanches could leave the Allianz Arena ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

Sanches starred for Portugal during their Euro 2016 triumph last summer, before joining Bayern in a big-money move from Benfica, rejecting the chance to join Manchester United in the process.

The 19-year-old failed to score in 25 appearances for the German giants last season, however, and Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed last week that AC Milan were interested in the midfielder.

Ancelotti has said that "there is also a chance" of Sanches staying with Bayern this summer, but the Italian has hinted that the teenager will depart.

"At this time, he's training with us. We have to make a decision. A move could be a possibility but there is also a chance he could stay with us for the season," Ancelotti told reporters.

Man United are also believed to be considering a summer move for the young midfielder.
