Weston McKennie Joins Leeds United on Loan

Joao Cancelo Heads to Bayern Munich on Loan

Bayern Munich has signed Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo on loan with an option to make the transfer permanent this summer for €70 million. The 28-year-old grew frustrated with his lack of playing time at Man City and was keen to leave. He was a regular in Pep Guardiola’s team at the beginning of the season but has started just five of the past 14 games. Guardiola is open to letting Cancelo leave as he is impressed with Rico Lewis and Nathan Ake. Cancelo joined City from Juventus in 2019 and was key to their Premier League title wins in 2021 and 2022.

Jorginho Close to Signing with Arsenal

Arsenal is close to signing Chelsea midfielder Jorginho in a £12 million deal. The club had been chasing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo but switched to Jorginho in the final days of the transfer window. The 31-year-old Italy international will sign a one-year deal with the option of another year. Jorginho joined Chelsea in 2018 and played a crucial role in their Europa League and Champions League titles.
