Manchester City may not have seen the last of Joao Cancelo this season despite shipping him to Germany.
Cancelo has gone on loan to Bayern Munich for six months in one of the biggest moves of the January transfer window, seizing the opportunity to join the Bundesliga champions after falling out of favour at the Etihad. City were willing to sanction the deal without needing to find a replacement, confident that they already had the cover in place.
Speaking at an introductory press conference, Cancelo did not rule out a return to Manchester next season but insisted he wanted to be focused on doing as well as possible for his new team. The 28-year-old said he was fit to start playing immediately, and his plans could collide with City in the Champions League in the coming months.
