Uncertainty surrounds João Cancelo’s future as Barcelona and Manchester City negotiate
João Cancelo finds himself at a crossroads as his loan stint with Barcelona draws to a close. Despite the Catalan club’s interest in retaining him, uncertainties loom large due to conflicting intentions between Barcelona and Manchester City.
While Cancelo has expressed a desire to extend his stay at Barcelona, reports suggest that Manchester City may be inclined to sell him.
The situation is complicated by the disparity in valuation between the two clubs. Barcelona is reportedly willing to offer €20 million for Cancelo’s permanent transfer, but Manchester City is holding out for a significantly higher fee, potentially double that amount.
Adding to the complexity are attractive offers that Manchester City has received for Cancelo from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the Premier League.
These offers further diminish Barcelona’s chances of securing Cancelo’s services for the next season.
Additionally, Cancelo may need to consider salary adjustments to continue at Barcelona, adding another layer of complexity to the negotiations.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the future of João Cancelo remains uncertain, with his transfer saga poised to be closely monitored in the coming months.
