Six short months and then go? Loaned by Manchester City to Bayern Munich last January, Joao I cancel (28 years old, 13 games and 1 goal in the Bundesliga this season) did not sufficiently convince the Bavarian leaders, who will not exercise his purchase option estimated at €70 million according to information from Sky Germany.
Our colleagues explain that the player himself expects to return to Manchester City at the end of the season, where he remains under contract until 2027. The current trend is therefore a departure, but “the Bavarian leaders are trying to find a solution” to keep the versatile Portuguese right piston, adds the German media. Time for negotiations for a reduced transfer, or for a new paying loan?
As a reminder, Cancelo also has another lead in the Premier League, where Arsenal are monitoring his situation carefully (see here).
