Cancelo completes Bayern Munich loan transfer with €70m buy option after Guardiola fall out
Joao Cancelo has completed his loan move from Manchester City to Bayern Munich, with that deal including a €70 million (£62m/$76m) purchase option.
The versatile Portugal international appeared to have a bright future at the Etihad Stadium after becoming a two-time Premier League title winner and making two PFA Teams of the Year, with Pep Guardiola making the most of the 28-year-old’s attacking instincts from full-back. Cancelo has, however, been allowed to move on after supposedly suffering a falling out with his demanding Catalan coach in Manchester.
Cancelo told Bayern’s official website of his excitement after sealing the deadline day move: “FC Bayern is a great club, one of the best in the world, and it’s enormous motivation for me to now play alongside these extraordinary players in a team. I know that this club, this team lives for titles and wins titles every year. I’m also driven by the hunger for success. I‘ll give my best for FC Bayern.”
