Germany’s ‘Sport 1’ said on the 31st (hereinafter Korean time), “The transfer has not been completed yet, but the day when Bayern Munich will announce the news of the signing of Cancelu is not far off. Cancelo will join Munich on loan, and there is also a full transfer option. included,” he said.
Cancelo joined Manchester City from Juventus in 2019. Starting in the 2020-21 season, he became the starting pitcher in earnest, and he scored 1 goal and 7 assists in 36 English Premier League (EPL) matches last season. His ability to play on both the left and right sides, and his attacking style through the centre, made him a favorite of Guardiola.

However, after the World Cup, his position changed drastically. In the 10 games Man City played, Cancelo digested only 5 games. He started three times. 먹튀검증
Meanwhile, Nathan Ake and Rico Lewis began to rise to prominence. Guardiola is using both players to replace Cancelo and Kyle Walker. Although Ake is a center back, he was placed on the left side by utilizing the strength of being left-footed, and during the game, he moves like a back 3. Lewis, an 18-year-old prospect, is also fulfilling Pep’s orders.
