“better he is gone by the end of the transfer window for the good of the team.”- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola makes transfer admission confirms Portuguese outcast has returned to training with Man Cit
Even though Cancelo has not played for City since January 2023 due to a falling out with Guardiola, he is still bound to them till 2027. After spending the second part of the 2022–2023 season on loan at Bayern Munich, he played the entire season at Barcelona. And ever since coming back from his deployment in Portugal, he has been practicing with his old teammates.
GUARDIOLA’S MENTION
He is working out with us. We shall see. He could decide to stay or go on loan. As of now, I am not sure. He is training alongside us and exhibiting excellent behavior during the lessons. He is an avid football player. Guardiola said during a press conference, “We shall see. When asked directly if Cancelo will stay with City for the entire season, he said, “It may happen, sure.”
Cancelo was one of City’s greatest players throughout the team’s victories in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 Premier Leagues, but after the World Cup, the coach and player’s relationship deteriorated.
During one of Guardiola’s pre-match team discussions, the Portuguese put on headphones and began listening to music, according to The Times. “For the good of the team, Cancelo best be gone by the conclusion of the transfer window,” the coach remarked shortly after to Txiki Begiristain, the sports director.
