Bayern Munich and Manchester City have agreed on a loan deal for the transfer of Joao Cancelo.
The 28-year-old Portuguese player had been disregarded by Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola and did not play in any of the team’s last three games in all competitions. Bayern Munich saw this as an opportunity and made a move by acquiring Cancelo on loan, which has a buy option clause of approximately €70 million. Bayern has been a fan of the defender for a long time due to his agility.

The injury to French player Lucas Hernandez during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has left a vacancy in the left-back position that is expected to be filled by Joao Cancelo upon his arrival. Bayern Munich had originally signed Daley Blind after his contract with Ajax Amsterdam was terminated. The transfer between the two clubs has been quick, but Cancelo’s move must be finalized before the transfer window ends on Tuesday, January 31st at midnight.
