The Portugal international emerged a surprise target for Bayern Munich on Monday January 30th 2023, a day to end or the transfer deadline day.
Many fans of football have been left surprise in Cancelo decision to leave the Etihad despite playing an important role in City's title challenge last season.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Joao Cancelo had touched down in Munich ahead of his medical.
Why Is Joao Cancelo leaving Manchester City?
Reportminds Blog understands that the full back who is very skillful made the decision to leave after burst uo with Pep Guardiola
Following an altercation with Pep Guardiola on the practice field, Joao Cancelo is expected to depart Manchester City.
The full-back reportedly reacted angrily after learning that he wouldn't be starting for City's FA Cup match against Arsenal on Friday night. The full-back, who is anticipated to join Bayern Munich on loan, is said to have done so.
Cancelo's relationship with Guardiola gradually worsened after the World Cup, and in recent weeks he has become disruptive to the team due to his complaints about not getting enough playing time.
The 28-year-old international from Portugal threatened to leave the team, and due to the gravity of the circumstance, City gave Cancelo permission to go when he brought a loan offer from Bayern to the table with the player-manager dynamic irreparably damaged.
At the end of the season, the defending German champions have the option to purchase him for £61 million.
Prior to the match against the Gunners, which City won 1-0, his relationship with Guardiola had grown sour.
Losing a crucial team member before the transfer season closes is not ideal, but club insiders have revealed that City have few other options and are now looking for a replacement.
Since returning from his international service in Qatar, Cancelo and Guardiola have engaged in tense exchanges, and he has only started three of the 10 games. In the 1-0 Premier League victory over Chelsea, he was hooked at the break. He also participated in losses to Southampton and Manchester United.
Cancelo was slouched on the bench while the rest of City's players warmed up before the most recent triumph against Wolves after being called up as a substitute.
The deal to secure his transfer to the Allianz Arena seems to have left City without defensive cover, but club insiders are certain that they have enough if a replacement does not come before the deadline.
In recent weeks, Nathan Ake has excelled at left back and is having a fantastic season, while youngster Sergio Gomez has made 12 appearances since signing from Anderlecht. If necessary, Aymeric Laporte can step in.
However, the Premier League winners are constantly looking for a reliable left back.
