Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo has broken his silence on the fall-out with manager Pep Guardiola last season.

The pair reportedly did not see eye-to-eye last season, with Cancelo spending the second-half of the 2022/2023 campaign on loan at Bayern Munich.

"There are things we didn't agree on, we're not obligated to agree on everything," Cancelo told via Relevo. 

"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."

The 29-year-old was then loaned to Barcelona this season and hopes to remain their beyond this year after the disagreements with Guardiola.

"At the moment they haven't told me anything, but I hope I can stay. I'm doing everything to make that happen. I really want to play for Benfica, really, but I want to play two or three more years here.

"Although we have financial problems, I am delighted to be here. After Benfica, it is the club that I always liked. Pepe told me many times that he was a player for Real Madrid, but I told him that it was for Barcelona. The truth is that I am where I always wanted to be."
