João Cancelo will most likely be a FC Barcelona player by next week. Loaned at the end of last season to Bayern Munich, the Portuguese did not really impose himself under Thomas Tuchel. Since then, the versatile side has returned to England, to Manchester, where he is now totally barred by the strong competition imposed by Pep Guardiola. Even more since the arrival of Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for around 120 M€. But the former Juventus player remains talented, and hopes to bounce back, this time in Catalonia.
For several weeks, in addition to the Ousmane Dembélé file to manage, Barça has been working to bring in Cancelo. The right flank, depopulated for some time at the Blaugranas, forced to use Jules Koundé in a position that is not his, or even Ronald Araujo, would finally see a player capable of holding the house on the side. According to Sport, the next 48 hours are decisive for the signing of the 29-year-old. Final details are to be settled, knowing that the negotiations are fluid between each party, since João Cancelo has always wanted to join Catalonia despite Saudi offers. The final price of the loan and the purchase option remain to be specified according to the same media. Come on, courage to the Barcelona supporters, it’s only a matter of time before the Portuguese is made official.
