Bayern Munich are reportedly 'unlikely' to exercise their option to make Joao Cancelo's loan move from Manchester City permanent in the summer transfer window.
According to Calciomercato, the Portuguese ace - who left the Etihad in January to sign for the Bundesliga outfit on a six-month loan deal - is unlikely to make the permanent switch to Germany, with Bayern not expected to trigger their £62m clause to officially sign Cancelo.
The report adds that Chelsea and Real Madrid are the two most likely options for the 28-year-old if he does leave City this summer, while he could also remain part of Pep Guardiola's squad.
The defender made a promising start to his Bayern career - grabbing two assists in his first two games - but he has since fallen down the pecking order.
