The 22-year-old left the Bavarians to join Lille in a €20 million deal in August and has now taken a look back at his tough spell in Munich.
"I wasn't prepared, because it all happened too fast for me. I had only been a professional at Benfica for six months, and suddenly I moved to one of the biggest clubs in the world. When I got there, everything was completely different," Sanches said in an interview with RMC Sport.
"I wanted to stay, but it didn't go the way I wanted it to. Despite everything, it was important to play for Bayern. I learned a lot, became more mature and more adult," he added.
Sanches made 53 appearances for Bayern in total, scoring twice and making three assists.
