January signing Maximo Perrone has been added to Manchester City's Champions League squad for the upcoming knockout stages, following the departure of Joao Cancelo on loan.
Cancelo left for Bayern Munich on deadline day, penning a half-season loan that can be made permanent in the summer. The Portuguese international had featured in all six group-stage games but has since seen his minutes reduced, following the return of domestic football after the World Cup.
Former Velez Sarsfield midfielder Perrone arrived at City for around £8.2million earlier in the window, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract. The 20-year-old is yet to meet his new teammates after competing in the South American Under-20 Championship, and was signed initially as a player for the future, with no intention of first-team action this season.
