German heavyweights Bayern Munich 'will not activate the buy option' in the deal that saw them sign Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo on loan in the January transfer window.
That is according to a report by German publication Kicker, who claim that Bayern have no interest in turning his loan move into a permanent deal. The versatile defender joined the Bundesliga heavyweights on loan in January after falling out of favour at the Etihad Stadium.
He has made ten appearances for them so far, scoring one goal and grabbing four assists. He stepped off the bench as a late substitute in Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge on Saturday as they beat Borussia Dortmund 4-2.
