Real Madrid Transfer News: Joao Cancelo Admits Interest in Joining Los Blancos

Real Madrid fans were left disappointed when Joao Cancelo signed for Bayern Munich on loan from Manchester City in January. Many felt the Spanish giants could have benefited from the services of the Portuguese full-back, who is considered one of the best in the world in his position. The reasons behind Madrid’s failure to pursue Cancelo remain unclear, with some reports claiming that the club never made an offer and others suggesting one was rejected.

In a recent interview with Movistar Plus, Cancelo admitted that it would be a pleasure for him to be linked with a club as prestigious as Real Madrid. He stated that he did not receive an offer from the Spanish giants, but if they were interested, it would be a sign that he is doing things right.

Cancelo is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, with the German club having an option to buy him for around €70 million. However, given that he will turn 29 in the summer, it remains to be seen if they will take up that option. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are in dire need of bolstering their full-back positions and have already secured a deal for Fran Garcia in the summer.
