FC Barcelona have made an offer for Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo.

The Portuguese international spent last season on loan at Barca and the Catalans are keen to sign him for a longer term. They waited for the English club to lower their demands, but with no news from the Eastlands, they ended up taking the initiative.
