Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann (35) has got his dream player.
Shortly before the end of the winter transfer period, record champion João Cancelo (28) grabs Manchester City. The right-back will be loaned out until the end of the season, and according to BILD information, Munich also have a purchase option of EUR 70 million.

The Portugal star was one of the top performers (154 competitive games) at the Premier League club under coach Pep Guardiola (52).
A lot of fans are wondering: how did Bayern succeed in this transfer coup? Why did the Citizens let their top performers go?
The English “Mail“. According to the newspaper, there was recently Zoff between Guardiola and his star. The last trigger was the game in the FA Cup against Arsenal. In City’s 1-0 win on Friday, Guardiola once again did not include the defender in the starting XI, preferring 18-year-old talent Rico Lewis.
After the World Cup, Cancelo was only in the starting eleven in three out of ten competitive games and was not part of the squad in the last two league games.

Not enough for the professional. According to the “Mail”, Cancelo complained loudly about his lack of playing time. After all, the relationship with the coach was so broken that the professional asked for his release.
Now his Bayern chapter starts. Cancelo has not yet thought about a possible future with the record champions after the end of his loan this summer. “First of all, we have to see what these five months will bring,” he said at his official presentation in Munich.
His priority now is “to support this team as much as possible”. But Cancelo hasn’t quite finished with the Manchester City chapter: “I don’t see it as a final farewell to the club.”
