Bayern Munich seeks a right back during the winter market
"A right back is important. That would give us more options. We are looking at what else we can do for the team. But it's not that easy during the winter market," said Hans Dieter Flick, coach of Bayern Munich. According to the newspaper TZ, the German officials don't want to make big investments during this period, so their idea is to get the loan of a player who is currently not getting many minutes in his team.
With this idea in mind, the German executives have been considering the signing of Joao Cancelo in recent days. Cancelo has played 17 official matches with Manchester City, but he has not been able to overshadow Kyle Walker. "When Cancelo plays, he always does well. He is the one who must decide if he wants to continue with us or not. This is a free country and everyone can decide what to do with their life," said his coach, Pep Guardiola.
Although Cancelo would fit perfectly into Flick's plans, City will only accept his departure through a transfer. This circumstance would complicate his arrival in Bavaria and would favor the other team that has been fighting for his signing for some time, Valencia. In fact, the mentioned media points to Valencia as the great favorite to secure his services.
If they don't achieve their goal in January, the Germans will postpone their desire to recruit a new right back until summer, when they will be in a position to spend money. Moroccan Achraf Hakimi (loaned to Borussia Dortmund by Real Madrid) is their great desire, but German Lukas Klostermann (RB Leipzig) is a much more viable option.
