Bayern Munich have decided to return full-back Joao Cancelo to Manchester City at the end of the season rather than converting his loan into a permanent deal by activating a reported €70m buy option.
Cancelo’s loan move in Bavaria hasn’t gone as planned, as he’s endured the same restricted squad role issue that troubled him under Pep Guardiola.
He is showing signs of frustration at being benched by Julian Nagelsmann because of a change of formation, and he also started from the bench against PSG in UEFA Champions League game last night.
With Manchester City ready to move on after he parted ways in January, it’s likely Cancelo could be sold to another club if he returns to Etihad this summer.”
The Portuguese international made 19 appearances before moving to Munich in January, but it is now looking like he is going to return to Manchester in the summer.
