Joao Cancelo transfer agreement highlights Man City stance after Pep Guardiola fall out

Joao Cancelo's sudden and surprising exit from Manchester City saw the club forego any loan fee.

The Portuguese star joined Bayern Munich on deadline day for the remainder of the season after falling down the pecking order in recent weeks. Cancelo had been a star performer under Pep Guardiola but found himself on the bench - to the surprise of many.
