Bayern Munich sporting director confirms Joao Cancelo permanent transfer talks with Man City

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has confirmed that the club are looking to make Joao Cancelo's loan move permanent at the end of the season.

The Portuguese full-back left City to join German giants Bayern Munich on loan until the end of the season, with the Bundesliga club having the option to sign the player permanently in the summer. During his time at the Etihad, Cancelo made 98 Premier League appearances and won two league titles and the EFL Cup under Pep Guardiola.

However, he only started three games since returning from the World Cup, and his last two appearances came in the defeats to Southampton and Manchester United. His move to Bayern came less than a year after he signed a new five-year deal with the reigning Premier League champions.
