Ex-Man City ace Joao Cancelo takes another swipe at club with ‘salty’ Josko Gvardiol jibe
14.05.2024 - 13:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Joao Cancelo has stirred controversy with his latest social media activity which took aim at parent club Manchester City.
The Portuguese right-back, currently on loan at Barcelona from City, participated in a blind-ranking challenge – a popular trend where participants rank randomly appearing players from one to 10 without knowing who will appear next. In an unexpected twist, the first player to be revealed was Josko Gvardiol, who effectively was Cancelo's replacement at City. Rather than offering any pleasantries, Cancelo immediately ranked the Croatian at the bottom of his list.
The former City man then proceeded to rank his top five players in the challenge, listing Roberto Carlos, Frank Lampard, Antoine Griezmann, and Hernan Crespo in his top four, while reserving the top spot for Chelsea's Thiago Silva. This latest incident adds to the ongoing tension between Cancelo and City, which dates back several years, reports the Mirror.

Cancelo initially joined City from Juventus in 2019 on a six-year contract, in a deal worth around £65million. This made him the most expensive right-back ever – a record that still stands in the Premier League.
After a rocky beginning, the 29-year-old made 98 appearances for City, contributing to their Premier League triumphs in 2021 and 2022. However, he was loaned out to Bayern Munich during the club's treble-winning campaign.
Reports surfaced that Cancelo had a falling out with City manager Pep Guardiola, and the right-back has since alleged that "lies were told" and even labelled his parent club as "ungrateful".
