The signing of João Cancelo at Barça will not be formalized until tomorrow, after the Portuguese side’s medical examination. Initially scheduled for Friday, it was postponed due to the finalization of some minor contractual details. The club also decided not to disrupt the team’s preparation for the final against Real Madrid, preferring to focus attention on Cancelo’s arrival after this crucial meeting. The player, currently in Lisbon, should pass the medical examination without incident, and his official presentation is scheduled for next Tuesday according to information from Mundo Deportivo. He will wear the Blaugrana colors until June 30.
According to Deco, the arrival of Cancelo constitutes a real reinforcement for the team: “We sign Cancelo because he is a player who improves the quality of the team. It allows Ronald Araújo to return to the center and Koundé to play in the center in better conditions. Cancelo is a high quality, versatile and experienced player, who allows Eric to no longer occupy certain positions that he used to hold. This recruitment illustrates our desire to improve the quality of the squad and provide more tactical options”.
