‘Getting difficult’ – Bundesliga insider exposes what he heard Bayern tell Joao Cancelo amid uncertain future
Initially, Joao Cancelo’s transfer from Manchester City to Bayern Munich seemed like a great deal as the German team was able to get him on loan.
However, there were rumors that Cancelo was unhappy about not getting enough playing time, which made people doubt if the transfer was as successful as they thought it would be.
“I talked with Julian Nagelsmann about João Cancelo and he said that the defender is doing well but he isn’t a player for his system, which involves three defenders behind two wing-backs. So that’s the problem,” BILD reporter Christian Falk exclusively revealed in his latest column for CaughtOffside.
“If Pavard is fit, it’s getting difficult for Cancelo and time is slowly running out. It’s not a perfect situation for both sides and it’s worth considering that the clause of €70m is too high for Bayern Munich. I heard they’ve already informed the player and his management that they can’t pay this amount.
“If there’s no truth in the interest of Real Madrid and no one is prepared to pay this clause, Bayern would surely sit at the table with Manchester City and discuss his contract but €70m just isn’t an option for them. Plus, at the moment, he’s not a regular in the first-XI.”
Julian Nagelsmann can be pleased with Joao Cancelo’s performance in the recent games for Bayern Munich.
Cancelo has made a notable impact by scoring a goal and providing an assist in their 5-3 victory over Augsburg, and he also provided an assist in their 2-0 win against PSG in the Champions League Round of 16.
Considering that Cancelo joined the team midway through the season, contributing to five goals in nine games is an impressive achievement.
The big question now is what lies ahead for Joao Cancelo since his position on the team creates an ongoing challenge for the manager.
Bayern Munich is unlikely to change their tactics to accommodate just one player, and they also do not have the financial resources to make a significant move for Cancelo in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Manchester City seems to be willing to let go of Cancelo despite being in the midst of a title race with Arsenal. This puts Cancelo in a difficult position, with an uncertain future.
