Man City full back set for Bayern Munich loan until end of season
City of Manchester fullback With a buyout option for the 28-year-longtime old's admirers at the German champions, Joao Cancelo is expected to join Bayern Munich on loan till the conclusion of the current campaign.Before the January transfer window ends, Bayern Munich is expected to sign defender Joao Cancelo on a loan.A contract has been reached that also includes the option to purchase the fullback for £61.5 million (€70 million). Since returning from the World Cup, Cancelo has played in less games due to Pep Guardiola's changes to the composition of his team.Cancelo played 36 games for City in the Premier League last year, but Pep Guardiola has limited his role at City this year and altered the team's composition.Bayern is rumoured to have expressed interest in Cancelo through his representation, and given the performances of Nathan Ake at full-back and the rise of Rico Lewis, City were happy to let Cancelo leave.Since moving to City from Juventus in a £60 million move in 2019, the adaptable full-back has been a crucial component of Guardiola's squad and has helped the team win two Premier League championships.Since top-level domestic football returned in December, he has only started three games, suggesting that he has recently dropped down the pecking order.John Stones, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, and Manuel Akanji are the club's other four senior center-backs, thus City feels they have plenty of backup. Cancelo's game has not been suited by changes to the side's shape.It will now be interesting to see if a deal can be completed before the transfer window closes."In some respects, this transaction is very Bayern. They are excellent seizing opportunities. They have the funds available, allowing them to act quickly should an opportunity of this nature arise.Alphonso Davies is unquestionably a certainty to play left back, but do they have a tonne of cover, you might ask? They brought Daley Blind, in principle, to protect him."However, things are more problematic on the right side since they have Benjamin Pavard, who is not particularly supportive and has publicly discussed the possibility of leaving in the summer."He didn't start the game against Frankfurt over the weekend; they instead chose Josip Stanisic, a fine player who is content to remain a backup at the age of 22," said the source."They are monitoring Noussair Mazraoui, who performed admirably for Morocco in the World Cup, for this pericarditis condition. When he returns, I will be happy to see him.Therefore, having a player of Cancelo's calibre fill the right-back position is a huge improvement for Bayern at the time. Given that it's a loan, the deal's structure is excellent. Everyone benefits.
