German champions Bayern Munich have opted against signing Manchester City star Joao Cancelo permanently this summer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Cancelo joined Bayern Munich on loan in January with the German champions having the option to sign him permanently for €70million.

However, according to Romano, Bayern Munich have opted against activating the clause to sign Cancelo permanently for €70million.

Arsenal, meanwhile, retain an interest in signing Cancelo with Mikel Arteta keen to add further strength in depth after his team ran out of steam in the final weeks of the season.
