According to reports, Joao Cancelo has no chance of regaining his place in Manchester City’s lineup for the upcoming season
The full-back departed Manchester United in January after losing Pep Guardiola’s favor following a rumored behind-the-scenes altercation and joined Bayern Munich on loan through the conclusion of the current campaign.
The right-back is back with the European champions for their preseason tour of Asia after missing out on the treble with the Citizens in the previous season.
A little-known fact regarding the Portuguese international’s present circumstance and potential future has come to light as we look ahead to the forthcoming season.
Cancelo is not a candidate for Guardiola in the upcoming campaign.
Report: Following a behind-the-scenes incident, Guardiola has no intentions for the 29-year-old Man City star
Given his falling out with Guardiola midway through the previous season, there appears to be no chance that Cancelo will be a member of City’s team for the upcoming season, according to a recent article from the Daily Mirror.
The defender started 15 of the 21 games he played in during his stint with Bayern, where he ultimately contributed one goal and six assists in helping them win the Bundesliga.
Back in June, Guardiola alleged that had the chance presented itself, the Citizens would have been willing to trade the 29-year-old to their rivals Manchester United on a long-term deal due to their desperation to get rid of him in the January transfer window.
With all in mind, it is simple to understand why it has recently been stated that Cancelo has no way to rejoin the City team.
We believe that the player permanently leaving the treble champions this summer is the wisest course of action going ahead for all parties, which leaves City with the difficult task of finding a team prepared to pay the amount they believe is appropriate for the player.
