Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo wants to remain at the club beyond next season despite the links to Real Madrid, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Lowdown: Cancelo's future at City
Back in February, the full-back put pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2027.
It was since reported however that Real Madrid had their eye on securing a potential transfer deal for the player in the next summer transfer window.
In addition to his new contract, it appears as though Romano has shared some further details about Cancelo's current situation at City and his future with the Premier League champions.
The Latest: Wants to stay
In a recent Twitter post, Romano had this to say on the talk of Madrid after he relayed some recent comments from the Portuguese international about his future.
"Cancelo's linked with [a] potential move in summer 2023 but he really wants to stay."
The Verdict: Great news for City
To highlight how much of a key player the 28-year-old is for Pep Guardiola, he has played more minutes in the league this season than any other outfield figure at the club.
