According to Florian Plettenberg, Cancelo is on his way to Munich for a medical TODAY. Or maybe Benjamin Pavard is up to something (again). The financials of the deal are a mystery.

Cancelo may not be as gifted defensively as Mazraoui or as good in the dribble, but Cancelo is gifted with amazing passing range. The quality of player past Mazraoui in this position, while better than most clubs, is not up to the standard Julian Nagelsmann demands. Mazraoui is safely in the very top tier of right backs in the world, and while inverting there is only one player in the world I can say is better than him. To get a player of this quality for no fee during the crucial phase of the season is remarkable. For the second season in a row, Bayern’s most consistent full back has found himself suffering from the after-effects of COVID-19. If for nothing else, this deal works simply based on the calibre of player that is being added to the squad.

Over the course of four weeks in January, it became increasingly clear to Pep Guardiola that Joao Cancelo had to leave Manchester City.
