Guardiola asked for his signing, he was going to be a star, now nobody wants him

The transfer market continues to give surprises in the major European leagues. Now, Manchester City is establishing itself in a great way towards the next season, but receives unexpected news of a player who was contemplated to be sold and now, he is rejected and will have to return to England, where Pep Guardiola certainly does not count on him. A problem since he still has a contract with the club.

It was an open secret and Bayern Munich ended up confirming it this Friday. The Bundesliga champion will not exercise the €75 million purchase option for João Cancelo, right-back who landed at the Allianz Arena during the winter transfer window on loan from Manchester City, Bayern made it official through an official statement.

It is no secret that the Juventus winger was an express request from Pep Guardiola a few seasons ago. However, his performance did not end up being the best and a slight change in Guardiola's formation ended up seeing him run out of space. Now, his sale is a priority, but Bayern Munich decided to go ahead with it.

Where will Joao Cancelo play?

Cancelo thus returns to a City where he is still under contract until 2027. The flamboyant Champions League champion already made it clear that he would not put any kind of impediment to his departure and a possible destination could be in Barcelona. However, Xavi Hernandez's team currently has a priority.
