Manchester City's asking price for defender Joao Cancelo has been revealed and many feel as though it looks like a typo.

Cancelo still has a contract with City until 2027 but does appear to have a future at the Etihad Stadium and hasn't since he first left on loan in January 2023.

The Portugal international moved to Bayern Munich on the final day of the January window and helped the German side win the Bundesliga.

The move came due to Cancelo being unhappy with his game-time and reportedly experiencing a breakdown in his relationship with Pep Guardiola.

He played against City in two legs of the Champions League and was even booed by some supporters when he came on at the Etihad Stadium.

Bayern elected against signing Cancelo permanently for £61 million and he instead returned to La Liga to sign on loan for Barcelona, playing 42 times in all competitions.

Barca want to sign him but only on a loan deal with a non-mandatory purchase option and are now facing competition from his former clubs Juventus and Inter.

Yet despite his impressive abilities, Cancelo could be available for a dirt-cheap fee.

Spanish outlet Sport say that City are trying to accelerate Cancelo's exit ahead of their upcoming pre-season tour of the United States.

And with that in mind, it's claimed that City are genuinely prepared to sell Cancelo for less than €20 million and have offered him to a number of clubs.

It's a substantial drop in value from when City paid Juve £55 million to sign Cancelo from Juventus in 2019.

He went on to make 154 appearances, scoring nine goals and winning three Premier League titles.

"There are things we didn't agree on, we're not obligated to agree on everything," Cancelo told Portuguese network RTP on his situation at City.

"I had things I didn't agree on or he didn't agree with something I said, it was just that.

"But I don't have resentment, I am very grateful. Life goes on, I am very, very happy here [at Barcelona]."
