Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is said to be keen on bringing Joao Cancelo to the Bundesliga side, as per new information from Germany.
The fact that Joao Cancello has a case for being one if not the best player on the best side in Europe is a testament to how great he has been so far this season.
Despite Manchester City's number 27 position being positioned in an unnatural left-back position, there is a strong argument to suggest that the Portuguese international has emerged as the most in-form player in his position.
As a result, Europe's crme-de-la-creme is considering leaning towards making an audacious move for the mysterious full-back, despite recently putting pen to paper on a new and improved deal at the Etihad Stadium.
According to a report in SPORTBILD, one of Julian Nagelsmann's 'dream players' to strengthen his dominant Bayern Munich side is Manchester City's Joao Cancello, with the German coach the 27-year-old a 'big fan'.
However, following Joao Cancillo's recent contract extension, keeping him with Manchester City at least until 2027, the prospect of a transfer has been deemed 'impossible'.
Speaking at the time of signing his new deal, the Portuguese international said that a big reason for his stay at Manchester City came in his opinion that there is 'nowhere better to play football' at present.
While the prospect of signing for Bayern Munich may be an attractive option for most players around the world, it is important to remember that Pep Guardiola's side is one of the most influential sides in Europe alongside the German giants.
As Joo Cancello looks to win his second consecutive Premier League title, and with his future at Manchester City as close as possible, a move is unlikely to come anytime soon.
