Renato Sanches asked to be left out of Bayern Munich's squad on Saturday so he could sort out his future.

The 20-year-old has been the subject of interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and AC Milan though the German champions only want to allow the midfielder to leave on an initial loan.

Bayern were away at Werder Bremen and coach Carlo Ancelotti said: 'If he stays, I’m satisfied. If he goes, it’s okay no problem.'

Two goals from Robert Lewandowski helped Bayern to a 2-0 victory in Sanches' absence.

The hosts held out until the 72nd minute of the Bundesliga match before Lewandowski made the initial breakthrough.

Sanches only moved to Bavaria from Benfica last summer in a big-money deal.
