‘We should NOT bring him back’, ‘Ake is better’ – Man City fans react as Bayern Munich makes admission on Joao Cancelo future

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Bayern Munich have no plans to trigger the option to buy clause in Joao Cancelo’s loan deal.

The 28-year-old made a surprise switch to the Allianz Arena from the Premier League champions in January after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola.

It was alleged that a bust-up between player and manager sparked Cancelo’s sudden exit, although the Portugal international has since denied that such a fracas occurred.

As things stand, Cancelo will return to the Etihad for the 2023-24 season, and he remains contracted to Man City for another four years.

However, Bayern possess the option to make his stay in Bavaria permanent, but according to Kicker via GGFN, they will not activate the €70M buy option in João Cancelo’s loan from Man City and, at the current moment, will not even negotiate a reduced fee.

As per the report, Bayern and City have both seen firsthand how Cancelo’s mood can swing in a negative direction when he isn’t regularly selected for games, and this has led to the Bavarian club passing up on the option to sign the defender for good this summer.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

@lilzavaa: “We don’t want him either 😂”

@custa79: “We should bring him back. He will be more humble and work for the team like others and not be concerned with playing time.”

@Josethedoor_17: “Well we need to sell him. i don’t think anyone at City wants him back”

@mcfc_robin2: “Can’t believe there’s some people in the comment section that actually wants him back. I don’t know if you realised, but since he left, we started looking like City again. Results and more importantly morale picked up. Ake is having a stormer of a season”

@ladiesluvbrando: “i don’t want him back at the club. Clubs been far better off without him.”

@mcfcbae: “And we should NOT bring him back”

@pyromarlian01: “He should not come back to us his attitude problems will cost us and he’s made us drop points in many games due to his mistakes I’m glad pep loaned him out and since he’s been gone we have been on the up up 11games unbeaten now.”

@harunbetrippin: “we dont want him either, ake is better”
