January 31 According to a report by German media SPORT1 reporter Kerry Hau, on
Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona had contacted Cancelo and his agent Mendes this weekend.
However, Bayern Munich eventually won this transfer battle, and Bayern Munich’s decisive advantage lies in the chances of the Champions League game.
Compared with Barcelona, which has already been eliminated in the Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich, which eliminated Barcelona in the group stage, still has a chance to win the Champions League. This is why Cancelo did not take too long to choose to play in Munich.
Although Bayern Munich has been interested in Cancelo for a long time, this transfer is not a planned transfer.
Because before last weekend, Cancelo had not appeared in the transfer market.
Nagelsmann mentioned Cancelo’s name to Salihamidzic as early as last year, so after a brief conversation between the two, it was decided to take action.
Cancelo will be used mainly as a right-back at Bayern Munich, but he can also play at left-back. Bayern Munich have realized that Alfonso’s current performance has declined.
With the Canadian defender looking unfocused and out of shape through the first three games of the new year, Blind will be used more as a centre-back.
