I'd send him back in an instance, but that's not my decision. I get it that he's Portugal's golden boy, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been a failure at his new club. He has trouble adjusting? Well, isn't that surprising given he doesn't speak either German or English and reportedly can't be bothered to learn, either. What did he expect coming to Germany, everyone speaking Portuguese? There are other 19 y/o in the Bundesliga who came here not speaking the language, and they still don't look like a 3rd division player every time they step on the pitch. The club provides a language teacher for the players and for Sanches they even hired a Portuguese guy to help him settle in. Not every young foreign player has that luxury. But every player has to put in a bit of effort himself if he's gonna make it at a top club. Maybe all the awards and hype went to his head and he thought that rule doesn't apply to him. Better to get back to the Benfica comfort zone then.
