Cancelo, Guardiola’s strong statement!
Loaned by Manchester City to FC Barcelona this season, Joao Cancelo directly and easily established himself as an essential player in the Catalan club’s squad. The Portuguese defender had a great year on an individual level.

Still under contract with the Mancunian club until June 2027, the Portuguese international wants to leave the Citizens permanently to join Barça. However, nothing has been done yet. The two clubs must find common ground financially.

For his part, Pep Guardiola affirms that if all the conditions are met, Cancelo will remain a FC Barcelona player next season: “ We are talking with Barcelona, ​​trying to find the best solution. If João wants to stay at Barça and the two clubs manage to agree on the amount, Cancelo will play for Barça,” he added on the sidelines of a golf tournament he sponsored.

Looking towards Euro 2024

It is an open secret. Joao Cancelo wants to continue the adventure at FC Barcelona. The Portuguese defender feels good in Catalonia and does not want to return to Man City. But before thinking about his future, the former Juventus player is looking towards Euro 2024 where he dreams of shining with Portugal.
