Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly willing to entertain offers for Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches in the upcoming transfer window.
The 25-year-old's maiden campaign with the French champions has been disrupted by a series of injuries, restricting him to just 19 appearances in all tournaments this season.
Sanches has two goals in the current Ligue 1 season, but he has only started three top-flight games for Christophe Galtier's side, coming off the bench in a further 12.
The former Bayern Munich man has missed 16 matches through various injuries, which have hampered his development throughout his career since he burst onto the scene with Benfica.
Sanches remains contracted to the French champions until the end of the 2026-27 campaign, but according to journalist Ekrem Konur, PSG are ready to listen to appropriate bids.

Konur adds that Benfica could try to re-sign their former protege on loan, although it is unclear whether Sanches wants to stay and fight for his place at the Parc des Princes.
The 25-year-old was tipped to become one of the world's leading midfielders during his breakthrough with Benfica as a teenager, which earned him a €35m (£30.8m) move to Bayern Munich in 2016.
At just 18 years of age, Sanches was also called up to the Portugal squad for Euro 2016 and played an integral role in their tournament triumph, playing six games and scoring against Poland in the quarter-finals.
However, the midfielder was unable to make a name for himself at Bayern, and he also endured a nightmare loan spell with Swansea City in the 2017-18 campaign.
Bayern allowed Sanches to depart for Lille in 2019, and the ex-Benfica starlet reignited his career with Les Dogues, winning the 2020-21 Ligue 1 title under Galtier.

Prior to the expiry of his Lille contract in 2023, Sanches was sold to PSG for a €15m (£13.2m) fee last summer as the French champions bolstered their midfield ranks significantly.
Carlos Soler, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz also arrived at the Parc des Princes, as Georginio Wijnaldum, Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera headed for the exit door.
However, all of Soler, Sanches and Ruiz have largely flattered to deceive during the current campaign, although Vitinha has been a regular fixture alongside Marco Verratti in the engine room.
Sanches did not play a single minute as PSG suffered a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern in the last 16 of the Champions League, but they hold a 10-point lead over Marseille at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
