​Joao Cancelo is one of Bayern Munich’s most interesting signings this winter, and the reason he decided to leave Manchester City was a conflict with manager Pep Guardiola.

Joao Cancelo could reach Real Madrid – Florentino Perez blocked the move

Although he is only on loan at Manchester City until the end of this season, Bayern Munich can buy the Portuguese defender permanently if they pay a fee of €70 million.

Immediately after the 2022 World Cup, Pep Guardiola transferred Joao Cancela to the bench, and the Lusitanian was not happy about it, so he decided to go to the Bundesliga.

“Cancelo always wants to play, he has to play to be happy. He wants to improve every game and I hope he can in Bayern. I don’t know what will happen next season with Joao.” – said Pep Guardiola.

Jorge Mendes, the agent of Joao Cancelo, offered him to Real Madrid, but the management of Los Blancos did not agree to the transfer, considering the fact that Vinicius Tobias is also present in the team, Madrid Extra writes.

Although Carlo Ancelotti was keen for Cancelo to replace Dani Carvajal (injured), president Florentino Perez did not agree to the transfer, so the defender ended up under Julian Nagelsmann, where he will remain until the end of this season.
