On Monday afternoon, the news that City would let Cancelo to go on loan to Bayern Munich stunned a lot of football fans.
The trade is anticipated to take place before Tuesday night's transfer deadline, with the Bundesliga champions having the option to purchase the full back after the current campaign.
No one anticipated Cancelo to depart, despite the fact that his spot in the starting lineup has been anything than assured since he returned from the World Cup last month.
The former Juventus full defender apparently ran into trouble at the tail end of last week after being benched for the FA Cup match against Arsenal.
The Portugal star, who is now viewed as disruptive, has apparently been rather outspoken about his frustration at frequently going unused as a replacement.
Now it looks that the breakup won't be amicable at all since the 28-year-old is also upset with a segment of City's fan base, yes, there are such people.
Several of the club's larger social media fan accounts claim that their soon-to-be ex-player has banned them ever since the news surfaced.
"Joao Cancelo has blocked anyone who is affiliated with Manchester City on Instagram. He must have left on really bad terms to do such a petty thing," one fan said.
"He going to be releasing a City diss track soon," another joked, but after all it did work really well for Shakira.
Not the only full back who may be departing the team soon is Kyle Walker, who is being targeted by Fenerbahce of Turkey.
Guardiola's preferred full backs have changed from Cancelo and Walker to Nathan Ake and Rico Lewis.
