According to Florian Plettenberg, Cancelo is on his way to Munich for a medical TODAY. Or maybe Benjamin Pavard is up to something (again). The financials of the deal are a mystery.

With both Lucas Hernandez and Noussair Mazraoui set to miss large parts of the campaign with injury/illness, it’s a move that makes perfect sense.

The Blues themselves have had issues with Reece James' ongoing injury concerns. This season City haven't been on the same level and Cancelo has found himself missing out. Part of Cancelo's brilliance was also his ability to come into midfield and act seamlessly in that role too. The Portugal full back was key to Pep Guardiola's title win last term. Now, with Cancelo on his way out of the league, Alexander-Arnold struggling and James coming back to full fitness, fans have made their stance on who the best of the trio is very clear. @khush_rahoxd: Now that cancelo isnt even rated by his own manager we can all agree reece james is the best rb in the world

With Guardiola placing faith in Lewis, Ake and Kyle Walker, City have agreed to let Cancelo leave once the offer from Bayern was presented. It's said that he reacted angrily to being left out of the starting XI, and threatened to leave the club. The news of his exit has come as a shock across the footballing world after his influence on Guardiola's system since arriving from Juventus in 2019. The full-back has been a regular of Pep Guardiola's side in recent years but is now set to depart the English champions to join Bayern Munich. The defender has made over 150 appearances for the club, scoring nine and assisting an additional 22.

Bayern Munich have signed João Cancelo on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season with an option to buy the Portugal international for €70m.

“My decision had to do with the playing time that had been little in recent weeks,” he said. Nathan Aké’s impressive displays at left-back and Guardiola’s confidence he has the requisite defensive cover were further reasons the manager allowed the move, even though Cancelo has been a big part of City’s recent success. Cancelo lost his first-team berth and did not feature in the past three matches.

Joao Cancelo is set to make a shock switch from Manchester City to Bayern Munich before the transfer deadline. Why is Pep Guardiola ready to sign off on his ...

"I am so sorry for Joao, I asked him to play in a position he wasn't used to," Guardiola said after that game, but he would not retain the conciliatory tone for long. His 2020 move to Manchester came a year after he joined Juventus from Valencia, having spent the previous season on loan at Inter. It's hardly the stuff of Agatha Christie to deduce which player Guardiola was referring to, given what has dramatically unfolded since. Bayern have an option to buy Cancelo for a fee in the region of €70million. Guardiola’s mentor and former assistant Juanma Lillo was known to have established an excellent rapport with Cancelo during his time in Manchester between 2020 and 2022. Lillo left to coach Qatari side Al Sadd at the end of last season. Guardiola will continue his bid for honours on three fronts with what he's got. But one of Guardiola’s hallmarks is to persistently tweak the demands placed upon his fullbacks to solve tactical conundrums. Erling Haaland’s arrival and prolific introduction into English football has been a game-changer for Guardiola in several ways. The Sporting News understands Cancelo himself presented Bayern’s interest to City. However, he only started two league games after the World Cup, where poor form saw him lose his starting place at right-back for Portugal to Diogo Dalot. He was sent off during a 2-1 win over Fulham in November.

They were always in contact for the last couple of years because they want to have him. "So they need him desperately. "Joao is a player we've been thinking about for a while now because we very much appreciate his qualities. I'm also driven by the hunger for success." Cancelo later said at a press conference: "I've not had much game time in the past few weeks, which influenced my decision. The team's Bundesliga lead has since shrunk from four points to one.
