Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed he won’t be rushed into a decision about Renato Sanches’s future and confirmed they would sit down together after the club’s hectic pre-season schedule.

The Portuguese midfielder has expressed his disappointment over a lack of first-team football at the German giants, with both the Red Devils and AC Milan interested in signing the talent.

The 19-year-old, who endured a poor first season at the German champions after his big-money move from Benfica, told German media he was exploring other options this summer.

Speaking in Singapore where Bayern have been playing a series of pre-season games, Ancelotti said that “Renato is with us”.

“We said that after the pre-season together, we can make a decision. Yesterday Renato played very well and I hope he can continue to improve.”

Bayern beat Chelsea 3-2 in a competitive pre-season match in the city-state Tuesday. The Bundesliga season begins on August 18.

Ancelotti admitted earlier this week that there was a “possibility” that Sanches could leave his side.

AC Milan have been heavily investing in new players following the sale of the club by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to a Chinese consortium in April.
