Renato Sanches is currently without a club after Paris Saint-Germain terminated his contract at the beginning of September. Sanches said he wants to find a new club by January at the latest and return to action.
January return target
Sanches told the Portuguese newspaper A Bola: "I want to get back into action in January, and that is what will happen."
He added: "I want to make a good comeback, represent my club as well as possible and do what I enjoy most with the greatest enthusiasm."
Injuries and professionalism
Sanches said: "I have been through difficult times."
He also said: "Unfortunately, I had injuries I would rather not have had, but none of them was due to a lack of professionalism."
Sanches added: "It is precisely my professionalism that has enabled me to play for some of Europe's best clubs. All those clubs know Renato's work."
He said: "Some people go through more difficult times than others, and I believe that this phase of my life is now behind me."
Situation since leaving PSG
Paris Saint-Germain terminated Sanches' contract at the beginning of September, even though it had been due to run until next summer. He has been looking for a new club since then, but has yet to find one.
At the end of September, Foot Mercato reported that Sanches could leave European football and join Corinthians Sao Paulo.
