Renato Sanches: Swansea City confident of loan deal for Bayern midfielder
Swansea City are confident of signing Bayern Munich's attacking midfielder Renato Sanches on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old Portugal international joined Bayern from Benfica for ?35m in May 2016.
Sanches, who made 25 appearances for the German champions last season, was also a part of Portugal's Euro 2016 winning squad
Swansea head coach Paul Clement worked with Sanches during his time as Bayern's assistant manager.
Any deal would have to be concluded before the transfer window closes on 31 August, with the Swans said to be closing in on the signing on Wednesday.
Sanches would be seen as a straight replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who joined Everton for £45m on 16 August.
The Portuguese player has four years left on his lucrative Bayern contract and, although the season-long loan move would include a fee, it is believed the German club might pay some of his wages.
Clement has said he wants to make at least two more signings before the transfer window shuts on Thursday.
