Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo reportedly set to leave the Etihad and join Bayern Munich on loan before the winter transfer deadline.

Cancelo has been a key man for City in recent times, as he made the PFA Premier League Team of the Year in each of the previous two seasons while making 36 appearances for the Premier League champions.

The Athletic said that a move to Germany may now be expedited because he has fallen below players like Rico Lewis, Nathan Ake, and Kyle Walker in City's full-back pecking order.

The versatile 28-year-old is anticipated to have a buy option included in Bayern's agreement worth approximately €70 million (£61.6 million), according to The Independent. The Bundesliga's top teams have long admired Cancelo's abilities.

Cancelo would be eligible to make his debut for Bayern in either a DFB-Pokal match against Mainz on Wednesday or a Bundesliga trip to Wolfsburg on Sunday if he completes a transfer before the winter transfer window ends on Tuesday.
