Joao Cancelo
is leaving Manchester City for Bayern Munich.
Reporter David Onstein of Britain’s ‘The Athletic’ reported on the 30th (hereinafter Korean time), “Munich has decided to lease fullback Cancelo from Man City. It is likely to include a purchase option.” 토토사이트
Cancelo was the symbol of Pep Guardiola’s football. Since wearing Manchester City’s uniform in 2019, he has played an inverted fullback from the left, further increasing Manchester City’s attack power. Kan Celou’s ability to supply accurate passes from both the flanks and centre, was an indispensable key to Manchester City’s attacking development.
But his mood has changed. Coming on as a substitute in the first game after the World Cup break, he warmed up the bench in three games following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. Instead, Nathan Ake is mainly playing on the left, and Rico Luis on the right is Guardiola’s trust.
Because of this, there were rumors of a transfer. There was no club that didn’t want a player whose skills were consistently verified in Man City, just because the recent performance was not good. Several clubs, including Spain, Germany, Italy and France, have been keeping an eye on Cancelo, and AC Milan has reported specific transfer rumors. However, Manchester City said they would not sell Cancelo, and these rumors seemed to be over.
However, it seems that he will eventually leave Manchester City. Reporter Paul Valus, familiar with Manchester City news, said: “Man City defender Cancelo will join Munich on loan, with a purchase option included. I couldn’t play as a starter,” he reported.
Reporter Christian Polk, who specializes in Munich news, also said, “It’s true. Cancelo joins Munich on loan until the summer,” and said that Cancelo’s transfer to Munich will definitely happen.
Meanwhile, if Cancelo’s transfer to Munich is concluded quickly, he can participate in the DFB-Pokal Round of 16 match against Mainz on the 2nd. Even if not, it is expected to appear in the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg on the 6th.
