With just one day to go before the closing date, various British and German media consider João Cancelo’s loan deal closed the Bundesliga champion. According to The Athletic website, the transaction includes a purchase option for the Portuguese international from Manchester City that would reinforce the right side of the Munich team, currently occupied by a Benjamin Pavard which is far from its best version and on whose horizon appears Barcelonanow or in summer.
In this way, Cancelo would put an end to his time at the Etihad, where he had just lost his undisputed status as soon as he returned from the World Cup. After being eliminated in the EFL Cup against Southampton (2-0) and losing the Manchester derby against United (2-1), Pep Guardiola put the 28-year-old defender on the bench and City returned to the path of the victory against Tottenham (4-2), Wolverhampton (3-0) and Arsenal (1-0). Young Rico Lewis and Nathan Aké filled the Skyblues’ full-backs, causing Cancelo to be all ears for Bayern’s proposal.
As revealed by the Sky television network, Cancelo would already be on his way to Munich, where the relevant medical tests will be carried out throughout Monday and will end up becoming the new star signing of the Bavarians. The Portuguese is one of the fetish players of Julian Nagelsmann, a Bayern coach who already has a new weapon when it comes to putting an end to a crisis of results that places him at the center of criticism. Bayern Munich reserves a purchase option for the Portuguese that according to pictureamounts to 79.8 million euros at the end of the season.
