Two prominent giants of the sport, Barcelona and Manchester City, have reportedly entered into discussions aimed at finalizing a loan deal for the talented João Cancelo.
Barcelona, currently seeking to fortify their right-back position, are diligently working towards securing João Cancelo’s services on a temporary basis. The Spanish champions are said to be aiming for an agreement that carries the provision of a mandatory permanent transfer next summer, cementing Cancelo’s potential long-term association with the club.
The air is thick with anticipation as both teams gear up for an intensified round of negotiations this week. The focus remains on the 29-year-old Portuguese defender, who finds himself on the fringes of the action at Manchester City.
City, recognizing the opportunity at hand, are reportedly open to facilitating Cancelo’s move, albeit with certain financial stipulations. While they are prepared to see him depart, the Premier League powerhouse stands firm on their valuation and is unwavering in their demand for approximately €60 million ($66 million) as part of the obligatory purchase clause.
For Barcelona, the urgency to secure Cancelo’s signature stems from a pressing need to solidify their right-back position. The pursuits of Julián Araujo and Sergino Dest did not sway the judgment of manager Xavi, prompting the club’s determined quest for a reliable and skillful presence in this pivotal role.
