Joao Cancelo on the Brink of Barcelona Move

Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo is edging closer to a move to Barcelona, according to recent reports. The Portuguese international has been a target for the Catalan club for some time, with Xavi reportedly a big fan.

Cancelo, who has played 154 games for Manchester City, scoring 9 goals and providing 22 assists, has expressed his admiration for Xavi and considers Barcelona his top priority. The 'Blaugrana' coach has been pushing for the signing of Cancelo since last winter's transfer window.

The move could be facilitated by the expected sale of Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, with the funds generated potentially used to secure Cancelo's services. Barcelona only need to agree with Manchester City on the release clause for Cancelo, and the Citizens are not expected to inflate the price, as he has not been part of Pep Guardiola's plans since winter.

The representatives of Barcelona are currently discussing personal contract terms with Cancelo, and the source E-Noticies provides detailed reporting on the negotiations and circumstances concerning Cancelo's loan to Barcelona from Manchester City, his return difficulties due to financial fair play, and his current status at Al-Hilal.

During the second half of last season, Cancelo spent time on loan at Bayern Munich, where he played 21 games and scored one goal with 6 assists. This impressive form, combined with his Manchester City record, makes Cancelo an attractive prospect for Barcelona.

As the negotiations continue, fans of both clubs eagerly await the confirmation of this potential transfer, which could strengthen Barcelona's defence and provide Manchester City with the funds to invest in new players.
