The increasingly mighty AC Milan is looking to further bolster its ranks with the acquisition of Bayern Munich's highly-touted midfielder Renato Sanches, with the Italian club in talks to sign the Portugal international on loan with a €40-million purchase option, reports Sky Sports.

Sanches, 19, won the UEFA award for best young player at Euro 2016 and joined Bayern last season out of SL Benfica for €35 million.

Milan has enjoyed a tremendous summer transfer window thus far, signing the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Mateo Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez, Andre Silva, Andrea Conti, Leonardo Bonucci and, most recently, Lucas Biglia, completely revitalizing the squad ahead of the 2017-18 season.

Those moves, coupled with a new deal for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has Milan looking like a challenger to Juventus for the Italian crown.
