Joao Cancelo is set to make a shock switch to Bayern Munich.
The Manchester City full-back, one of the Premier League’s outstanding players in 2021-22, signed a bumper long-term contract only 11 months ago and was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year in each of the last two seasons. However, he has recently fallen out of favour with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium and the pair have clashed over his lack of action.
The 28-year-old has fallen to third choice in his preferred position of right-back, behind Kyle Walker and youngster Rico Lewis, while Nathan Ake has been preferred at left-back in recent weeks - the position where Cancelo was so impressive for much of the last two seasons and where he had started the current campaign.
