Lille midfielder Renato Sanches has stated that he is ready for a bigger challenge, if the opportunity presents itself. The midfielder has rebuilt his career with the French champions and is now starting to attract interest from a number of top clubs across Europe. 

Here is what the player had to say: 

'Who is interested in me? Maybe Milan and Arsenal are interested, but I don't know, he told L'Equipe via the Mirror.

'I talked to my agent, I know which clubs are calling and which are not, but now I can't tell. But I know I'm ready. If it happens, I'll see what's best for me.

'Milan? It's a great club, a historic club. It's classy. I like it. I was supposed to go to Barcelona in the summer, then my injury blew everything up. Leave in January? I know I'm ready. If an offer comes in.''When I arrived at Bayern, I was not ready to play in such a club. I was very young.

'And when I got ready, the opportunity to play with this team never came.'Today I feel ready. I understand football better, I have more experience, I know what to do to play in this kind of club and that changes everything.'

Renato Sanches' transfer situation right now 

Renato Sanches is attracting interest from Arsenal and Tottenham in the Premier League. The midfielder was supposed to move to Barcelona in the summer, but it collapsed due to his injury. The Spanish giants are still interested in him, and would be willing to try again if the opportunity presents itself. 

Lille president Olivier Letang has also mentioned that he has a gentleman's agreement with Sanches to let him leave if a big offer arrives. But, they will surely try to keep him as he is one of their star players right now.
