Renato Sanches' São Paulo move collapses after FIFA hit Brazilian giants with transfer ban
Renato Sanches' proposed free transfer to São Paulo has collapsed at the eleventh hour. The Brazilian club's FIFA transfer ban, coupled with the former PSG midfielder's hefty wage demands, ultimately scuppered the deal.
FIFA transfer ban leaves São Paulo empty-handed at the eleventh hour

São Paulo have been dealt a devastating blow by FIFA after an unexpected registration ban directly scuppered a personal agreement reached with midfielder Renato Sanches. The blockbuster transfer collapsed at the eleventh hour because the Brazilian giants have failed to settle an outstanding €250,000 debt in agent fees from their previous signing of Giuliano Galoppo.
Former PSG star's €6.5m wage demands prove insurmountable barrier

Sanches' eye-watering €6.5m-a-year wages at PSG proved to be the ultimate financial roadblock. Despite recently securing a lucrative new 140m reais sponsorship deal with Ticketmaster, the Brazilian giants were left completely powerless, unable to shoulder the former PSG star's astronomical wage demands.
