In England, the club follows attentive to Joao Cancel, since the Manchester City can facilitate his arrival to loan, without option of compulsory purchase, since the luso does not explain in the plans of Pep Guardiola for the next season.

"The reality was that we decide that it had to go and did not matter us to where went, although it wanted to go to the United, that is our rival", explained Pep on his case. In this sense, to the luso subtract him four years of agreement for fulfilling and, although a traspaso by a mount near to the 50 million euros would be ideal for the interests of the group 'cityzen', a new cession is the most feasible road to rid of him.
