Moved on by Man City and benched by Bayern Munich - what next for Joao Cancelo?

It has been quite the fall from grace for Joao Cancelo. Only six months ago, he was one of Manchester City's most important players, his long-term future at the club seemingly assured after signing a contract until 2027. Now, though, his short-term future is uncertain, as is his place in elite football.

Since Pep Guardiola sanctioned Cancelo's loan move to Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day at the end of January, his days at the Etihad Stadium have looked numbered.

And it is unclear whether he has a future at Bayern either after a stop-start spell in the team in which he has been dropped for crucial matches by both former coach Julian Nagelsmann and new manager Thomas Tuchel.

With a £62 million price tag on his head and questions about his attitude laid bare by Guardiola's insistence on parting ways with him, a player who until recently was one of the top full-backs in the world now has no clear destination.
