Barça enlists Cancelo! (Official)

FC Barcelona has formalized the arrival of Joao Cancelo, who is on loan from Manchester City for one season, with no option to buy.

It had been anticipated for several weeks now, it is now official: Joao Cancelo leaves Manchester City and joins FC Barcelona. An arrival completed in parallel with that of his namesake and compatriot, Joao Félix, who arrived from Atlético Madrid. Likewise, the old Bianconeri join the ranks of Blaugranas on a one-season loan, with no option to buy.

By recruiting the Portuguese right side, Barça de Xavi thus closes the site of its defense. Indeed, in the absence of a real full-back for his right flank, the Catalan technician has often made the decision to align the Frenchman Jules Koundé, a central defender by profession, as a right-back. A tactical decision which was not to the liking of the 2022 vice-world champion.
