Bayern Munich have confirmed that Joao Cancelo will return to Manchester City this summer, opting against an immediate transfer following his loan spell.
The Bundesliga champions have decided that his £61.6m buy-out clause is not warranted. Cancelo secured his switch in January amid a rift with City boss Pep Guardiola.
He was brought in by Julian Nagelsmann but had a new head coach just nine matches into his stay as Thomas Tuchel took the helm during the March international window.
Cancelo started six of his nine games under Nagelsmann, recording a goal and four assists, but managed just two assists under Tuchel having started nine of his 12 outings.
