Joao Cancelo has admitted that there is a possibility he could return to Manchester City when his loan move at Bayern Munich comes to an end.
Cancelo moved to the Allianz Arena in January in a bid to gain more first team football after finding himself on the bench since his return from the World Cup. Nathan Ake was preferred to the Portuguese full-back during the last few weeks of his time at City.
The deal with Bayern expires at the end of the campaign but MEN Sport understands that there is an option for Munich to make the switch permanent in the summer. However, Cancelo told the media this weekend that he could still return to the Etihad and admitted that he has created a family at City.

He explained: "Will I still celebrate an English title with City? I hope so.
"I created a second family there. Bernardo [Silva] has become one of my best friends, he is the person I miss the most there.
"He was my psychologist. When something didn’t go so well, he was the one to talk to.
"Ruben [Dias] too, but my relationship with Bernardo is actually very good, even on the field, we had a great connection when we played on the same side. He is a person that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
"Of course, in England I’m rooting for them and I hope they win so that at the end of the season I can be celebrating a title in England and another in Germany. City’s group is spectacular, it’s the best I’ve ever worked in, both as a group and personally.
"I created great friendships. [Riyad] Mahrez is a great friend of mine, not a day goes by that he doesn’t call me.
"[Jack] Grealish is a spectacular person. Nathan is one of the best people I’ve met in football.
"A spectacular group, I would go to training with great enthusiasm. Everything in life has an end.
"But at the end of the season I might even return, you never know." Since moving to Bayern, Cancelo has made six appearances and notched two assists.
However, he only made a cameo appearance on Sunday in Bayern's 3-0 victory over title rivals Union Berlin.
