    Bayern Munich have announced and completed the signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City on an initial loan deal until the end of the season with a €70 million buy option.

    The Portugal full-back, who has recently been regarded as one of the best in the world at his position, was reportedly given permission to leave City on Monday after expressing a wish to do so.

    This gave Bayern Munich the opportunity to strike, and he quickly flew to Germany to undertake a medical with the league champions.

    On deadline day, Bayern announced Cancelo’s loan move; they still have the option to make it permanent in the summer.

    Speaking to Bayern club channels, Cancelo said: “FC Bayern is a great club, one of the best in the world, and it’s enormous motivation for me to now play alongside these extraordinary players in a team.

    “I know that this club, this team lives for titles and wins titles every year. I’m also driven by the hunger for success. I’ll give my best for FC Bayern.”

    In a statement, Bayern director Hasan Salihamidzic said: “We’re very happy that Joao Cancelo will now play for FC Bayern. We’ve signed him on loan now and have the possibility of signing him permanently in the summer. Joao is a player we’ve been thinking about for a while now because we very much appreciate his qualities.

    “He’s the optimal fit in our system with his attacking style of play and dynamism, and his mentality and experience fit very well in our team. I’m convinced Joao will help us in the coming weeks and months where we want to win titles.”
