Manchester City and the Portugal national team wingback Joao Cancelo will move to Bayern on loan! In the future, Munich will be able to buy out the contract of the football player, whose place in the starting line-up of the Cityzens until recently was not subject to any doubts.

Joao Cancelo is a football pilgrim who has defended the colors of Valencia, Inter, Juventus and Manchester City in nine years of active career. At the same time, the 28-year-old Portuguese managed to win three league titles and play in the Champions League final. Since last season, Cancelo has been a solid left wingback for the Cityzens, but after two consecutive defeats to Southampton in the League Cup and Manchester United in the league, the wingback was suddenly benched.

There is no talk of Cancelo's injury, which means there was a conflict between the football player and Josep Guardiola. Apparently, the football player said a lot of bad words to the coach, and he decided to punish the Portuguese by depriving him of the status of the main performer. The situation with Joao was quickly taken advantage of by Bayern Munich, who had previously announced that they had completed their work on the transfer market this winter.

However, the recent failures of the Munich club encourage him to break this promise. After the international break, Die Roten had three draws and called into question their leadership in the Bundesliga. But ahead is a duel with PSG in the Champions League round of 16, which Bayern may lose. Apparently, the failures of Munich are associated with limited squad potential, and the invitation of Cancelo will help to partially solve this problem.

While on the left wing of Die Roten's defense there is a reactive Canadian Alphonso Davis, then on the right there are players of a more defensive plan, Pavard and Mazraoui. Moreover, the first one often enters the pitch as a center back, and the second one came to Munich last summer and has not yet had time to adapt to the team. It should be noted that Bayern loan Cancelo until the end of the 2022/23 season with a subsequent option to buy him for 70 million euros. Spending so much money is not at all in the style of Munich, but if the Portuguese suddenly plays at the highest level, then why not?

At Bayern, Cancelo will have the chance to win a fourth league title and try to finally succeed in the Champions League. But, most likely, this is a temporary solution for Munich. The player himself is very reluctant to leave Manchester, and plans to return there in the future. Perhaps even at the cost of reconciliation with the coaching staff of the Cityzens.
