The transfer, whose announcement two days ago shocked the football world, received official confirmation today. Joao Cancelo has arrived at Bayern.
The Portuguese will join “The Bavarians” on loan until the end of the season, with the right to purchase for 70 million euros.
Since arriving on the island three years ago, Cancelo has been selected for the Premier League’s ideal team three times and has earned the status of one of the best footballers in the world. However, the Portuguese could not overcome the fact that Guardiola reduced his playing time and, according to the English media, got into a heated argument with the Spanish expert.
After that, Cancelo told Guardiola that he wanted to go, and he gave the green light to the management that let him go to the Allianz Arena.
The defender played 26 games this season, where he scored two and set up five goals, while he did not play in the last three matches.
Cancelo is 28 years old, and he arrived in Manchester City in 2019 from Juventus for 40 million euros, which is what the “Old Lady” paid for him to Valencia in 2018.
“Bayern is a big club, one of the best in the world, which is a huge motivation for me to play with exceptional players in the team. I know that this club and team live for titles and win them every year. I am also motivated by the hunger for success. I will do my best for Bayern” Cancelo said.
