Joao Cancelo may have played his last match for Manchester City.

The Portugal fullback has reportedly traveled to Bayern Munich ahead of a possible loan move to the German champions, who will have an option to buy Cancelo for 70 million euros ($76 million).

Cancelo, who can play as a right back or left back, is an attacking defender who has played an integral role for City in recent seasons but has fallen out of favor with manager Pep Guardiola since the World Cup .

Cancelo has started only three of City’s nine games in all competitions since domestic competition resumed in late December following the tournament in Qatar.

Nathan Ake has been preferred for Rando on the left while 18-year-old Rico Lewis has established himself on the right as competition for Kyle Walker.

Neither City nor Bayern have officially commented on any Cancello deal.

The European transfer window closes on Tuesday.
