JOAO CANCELO is leaving Manchester City after having a fallout with manager Pep Guardiola and becoming disruptive, it has been revealed.
News of Cancelo moving to Bayern Munich came as a shock, with the Portugal international still regarded as one of the best full-backs in world football.
The 28-year-old will join the dominant German champions on loan, however there will be an option to buy at the end of the season.
A permanent transfer could cost Bayern a hefty £61.5million.
But City are happy to let Cancelo leave after the player became disruptive.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who also claim that the player’s relationship with manager Guardiola has “progressively deteriorated after the World Cup”.

He has started only three of the 10 fixtures since returning from international duty.
Nathan Ake has also proven reliable on the left side of the defence.
