Bayern Munich chief addresses future of Arsenal target amid £61m clause

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has refused to confirm whether his side will pay the €70 million buy option to sign Arsenal target Joao Cancelo from Manchester City this summer.

Cancelo made the surprise temporary switch to Munich in January after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola following the resumption of the season in December. That said, the Portugal international has not found it easy at Bayern either, finding himself in and out of the side, particularly early on.

As such, that has prompted other clubs to enter the mix for his signature, with Arsenal having been heavily linked during the week, and also Barcelona keeping an eye on the situation, too. Salihamidzic was asked about the potential of signing Cancelo permanently after he provided an assist in a 6-0 win over Schalke on Saturday, but says it is a decision they have not yet made.
