Forest are in line to make Jonjo Shelvey their 25th signing of the season after offering the former England midfielder a two-and-a-half-year deal to join from Newcastle. Talks were held between both parties and an agreement was finally reached on Monday night after Spurs agreed to pay solidarity payments to Porro’s previous clubs, which could add an extra €2.25m to the transfer. The move was held up by a disagreement over the associated costs of the deal. The Premier League champions sanctioned the move after Cancelo told Pep Guardiola he wanted to leave and the player has arrived in Munich for a medical. They are also close to bringing in the 18-year-old defender Diogo Monteiro from Servette. Monteiro, a Portugal youth international, is lined up to replace him.

City’s shift in tactics, plus the emergence of teenager Rico Lewis, the ability of Nathan Ake to play left-back and the fact manager Pep Guardiola has five central defenders in his squad means they believe they have enough cover to cope without him for the rest of the season.

Over the course of four weeks in January, it became increasingly clear to Pep Guardiola that Joao Cancelo had to leave Manchester City.

On Wednesday, it will be one year to the day since Cancelo signed a two-year contract extension at City. [Nathan Ake](https://theathletic.com/football/player/nathan-ake-De0rOaW2Cm5Mw60m/) also belongs to that group and given Cancelo’s application in training over that period he was an obvious candidate to make way. The night before he was attacked in front of his wife and young daughter by four intruders looking to steal jewellery. On the one hand, City’s decision to let their star left-back leave midway through the season, with no replacement lined up — six months after letting Zinchenko depart — clearly leaves them short of options and that may well cost them this season. In hindsight, these examples are similar to a post-match interview in March 2021 when Guardiola said, “The players who help me a lot this season, I will rotate less. The fact that he had lost his place to 18-year-old [John Stones](https://theathletic.com/football/player/john-stones-Qco6BKmHmB44RMjL/) was back in contention after a brief absence and has proved himself one of City’s relatively few solid performers following the World Cup.

Joao Cancelo will be allowed to join Bayern Munich on loan in a shock transfer deadline day deal involving Manchester City.

City fans will never forget Cancelo's incredible form in the last two title wins, or his knack for a stunning goal with that brilliant right foot. If the remaining City squad somehow didn't hear his comments, then the message is impossible to ignore now. With form like that - and Lewis in particular playing in Cancelo's 'inverted right-back' role - it's no surprise Cancelo has dropped down the pecking order. He's stressed repeatedly in recent seasons that any player not happy can leave, and Cancelo is perhaps the most high-profile example of that being allowed to happen. In general, Guardiola wanted an end to their complacency, more fire in performances, and a higher demand from top to bottom to win another title. The players who have been asked about Guardiola's criticisms have said they heard the message loud and clear - not least because he had told them in the dressing room before facing the media.
