Barca's plan to sign Cancelo

FC Barcelona are about to recruit Joao Cancelo on loan with an option to buy.

THE FC Barcelona launched its 2023-2024 season by obtaining its first victory on the wire against Cadiz on Sunday evening (2-0). The Catalan club, which has great ambitions after its title of champion of Spain, has strengthened itself at low cost this summer by recruiting Ilkay Gündogan, Inigo Martinez and Oriol Romeu for less than 4 million euros.

Dembélé gone, Cancelo arrives

Limited by still fragile finances, club leaders had to wait to sell Ousmane Dembele at Paris Saint-Germain (50 million euros) to be able to take action again on the transfer window. According to information from The Athleticthe Blaugranas are about to offer themselves Joao Cancelo.

The Portuguese international is coming out of a complicated season at Manchester City and then on loan to Bayern (which did not exercise the €70m purchase option) and no longer fits into Pep Guardiola’s plans. Xavi reportedly appreciates the 29-year-old’s versatility, capable of playing on the right and left of defence, so he is expected to join Barca on a loan with an option to buy.
