Barcelona is close to the arrival of Cancelo! It will use the money from the sale of Dembélé to sign him

João Cancelo will probably move again. Relations at Manchester City with Pep Guardiola are at an all-time low and the Portuguese full-back is looking for a way out. Barcelona should be the new destination.

Until about two years ago, João Cancelo was one of the best full-backs in the world. Pep Guardiola has tailored a role for him at the Citizens, the position of inverted left-back, retreating to the middle of the pitch to play the ball, suited him brilliantly.

But last season, Cancelo began to fade a little. Guardiola stopped building him somewhat, which logically did not sit well with the Portuguese footballer. Thus, there was an altercation at training, after which the Spanish coach ordered Cancelo’s departure.

Bayern Munich immediately jumped on the 29-year-old back, taking him on a six-month loan. But even at Bayern Cancelo gradually dropped out of the line-up. It is not surprising that the Munich club was not interested in extending their cooperation.

Cancelo, however, does not have to worry about the lack of interest. He has found admirers in Catalonia. Barcelona had wanted to sign the Portuguese since the winter, but finances were a problem.

However, the departure of Ousmane Dembélé for 50 million euros will give Barcelona at least some capital, which they will immediately return to reinforcements.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have already agreed personal terms with Canelo, the player himself is interested in joining the Blaugranas. However, it remains to fine-tune the transfer terms.

That won’t be the easiest, Cancelo may be unwanted at the Citizens, but they won’t want to lose him on the cheap. Barcelona don’t have much money to throw around though.
