The Bayern Munich bolstering his squad by signing the Portuguese left-back on loan Joao will cancel from a City of Manchester where he lost popularity in favor of Aké. Cancelo, who has scored five goals and provided 11 assists in 98 Premier League games, will give the German team more confidence in defense and bite in attack.
“Joao is a player we have been thinking about for a long time because we highly value his qualities. He fits our system perfectly with his attacking style of play and dynamism, and his mentality and experience are well suited to suits our team”, said Bayern’s sports director, Hasan Salihamidzic.
Cancelo can play on the left or right, giving Bayern plenty of options after Lucas Hernández injured his knee at the World Cup and Noussair Mazraoui developed inflamed tissue around his heart following a COVID-19 infection. .
Bayern have struggled so far this year with three straight draws (Leipzig, Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt) and the team’s lead in the Bundesliga has been cut from four points before the winter break to just one. Union Berlin, Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are three points behind.
Cancelo, regarded as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, has lost his City start to Nathan Aké since the World Cup, where he also lost his start in Portugal.
