Some players have fallen out of favour with Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola and have had to go out on loan. On their return to the City side, they may stay there.
We are talking about defender João Cancelo, who has spent the last year and a half on loan at Bayern and Barcelona. Despite the fact that the Catalans intend to buy out the Portuguese's contract, Guardiola concedes that he will stay in England:
‘He is training with us. Maybe he will stay, maybe he will go on loan. I don't know yet. He trains with us, he behaves very well in training. He likes playing football. We will see.
Respectfully, and try to take the best for the immense qualities he possesses. I don't doubt his qualities for a second. But I don't know what's going to happen.’.
Asked if he could play for City again, Guardiola said: ‘It could happen, yes,’ reports ESPN.
