Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola fails to rule out the possibility of Joao Cancelo leaving the Etihad Stadium during the January transfer window.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has suggested that Joao Cancelo is not certain to remain at the club for the rest of the season.

Despite only moving to the Etihad Stadium in the summer, the versatile full-back has been heavily linked with a loan switch to former side Valencia in January.

While another transfer appeared unlikely, Guardiola has said that "what happens, happens" when quizzed on the future of the Portugal international.

Speaking to reporters, Guardiola said: "In the last month we've had the best Kyle [Walker] and I give continuity to him. [Cancelo]'s adapting and he has a special quality and he can help us in many, many games.

"We bought him for many years, not for six months, but what happens, happens. I don't know what will happen in a few weeks. In the summer we will discuss."

Cancelo has made 10 starts and five substitute outings in the first half of this season.
