Manchester City defender João Cancelo is set to join Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on loan for the remainder of the season.
According to journalist David Ornstein, the 28-year-old is expected in Munich today where he will complete his medical and officially sign for the club. The Portuguese international may not be available for Bayern’s game in the DFB Pokal against Mainz 05 on Wednesday but should be up for selection against VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga this Sunday.

There are reports that the Portuguese is not happy at how manager Pep Guardiola has treated him this season after being relegated to the bench in most games with the deal to Bayern set to include an option to buy the full-back at £61.5m.
Cancelo’s representatives are understood to have brought the interest from Bayern to City and, given the emergence of Rico Lewis and the performances of Nathan Ake at full-back, City has been willing to allow Cancelo to move.
Bayern have been looking for a right back with Benjamin Pavard having struggled this season coupled with an injury to Noussair Mazraoui.
