Bayern Munich will need to reach a compromise with Manchester City in order to sign Joao Cancelo permanently.
Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has suggested that the €70million (£62.1m) fee included in the Portuguese right-back's loan deal will be "difficult" for the German giants, who swooped for Cancelo on transfer deadline day. The 28-year-old defender left City after an alleged falling out with boss Pep Guardiola over a lack of game-time.
Making his debut for Bayern a day after signing, Cancelo registered an assist inside 18 minutes and managed another one in his second appearance on Sunday. Despite the Bavarians' infatuation with the former Juventus star, having targeted him for "more than four years," the club aren't wholly confident of securing his services on a permanent basis come the summer.
