It is a transfer no-one saw coming 48 hours ago – Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo has joined Bayern Munich on loan for the rest of the season.
The 28-year-old has played an integral part in the Premier League titles Pep Guardiola’s side have won in the past two seasons, but has fallen out of favour and will move to Germany with an option to join permanently for £61.5m in the summer.
The Portugal defender, who moved in 2019 from Juventus for £60m, has played more minutes for City than any other defender this season.
