Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is prepared to approve the sale of Joao Cancelo.

The Portugal fullback only joined City last summer from Juventus, but has been left frustrated by the lack of regular football he's seen this season.

A return to former club Valencia has been mooted for Cancelo, where club owner Peter Lim is prioritising his signing.

Sky Sports says Guardiola has discussed the situation with Cancelo and has informed him he can leave this month.

City signed Cancelo in a swap of €30m plus Danilo with Juve.
