Joao Cancelo's Bayern Munich Exit: Unveiling The 'Non-Footballing' Reasons Behind The Decision

Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Joao Cancelo's departure from Bayern Munich was not due to "footballing reasons."

While Cancelo made an impact during his loan spell, securing two assists in his initial appearances, he experienced sporadic selections in Tuchel's starting eleven, leaving him frustrated.

Before joining Bayern, Cancelo's falling out with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City was well-known, though there were no reported issues during his stay in Munich.

Despite Cancelo's contributions, Bayern did not consider a permanent deal, as there was no buy-on clause in his loan agreement, and City valued him at 70-million euros. Tuchel clarified that the decision not to pursue the right-back on a permanent basis was unrelated to his footballing abilities.

He mentioned the return of Davies from injury and the signing of Guerreiro as factors contributing to the decision. The reasons behind the non-pursuit of Cancelo remain unclear.

It's possible that issues between the player and the coaching staff or dressing room dynamics played a role. Having been brought in by Julian Nagelsmann before his departure and then adapting to Tuchel's management could have been a factor.

While Tuchel appreciates Cancelo's talents, he felt Bayern had enough defensive options for the upcoming season.

Currently, Cancelo is strongly linked to a potential move to Arsenal before the summer transfer window closes, but no concrete developments have occurred yet.

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   Bruce Springsteen says he feared fame would change him when his career took off with Born to Run  in 1975.  The rocker, now 76, told TIME100 in a cover story on Sept. 25 that he felt life becoming very different after his first TIME and Newsweek  covers.  He said the praise for his music was a dream come true but came with new problems.  Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   His sister Pam even told him about paparazzi looking into their family kitchen, which made him worry about how fame would affect them. Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
