Joao Cancelo is pushing for a permanent transfer to Barcelona, reflecting both the Manchester City defender’s and the Blaugrana’s wishes.
The future of Joao Cancelo remains uncertain.
The Portuguese full-back, owned by Manchester City, has been at odds with manager Pep Guardiola for years.
This discord has led to loan spells, first at Bayern Munich and then at Barcelona.
According to sources close to the player, Cancelo is eager to make his stay at Barcelona permanent.
“Joao wants to continue his career at Barcelona,” said a source familiar with the player’s situation.
Barcelona are also reportedly keen on keeping the defender.
A club insider revealed, “The coaching staff and the management are very impressed with Cancelo’s performances and professionalism.”
Negotiations between Manchester City and Barcelona are expected to commence shortly.
Cancelo’s contract with Manchester City still has a few years left, which could complicate the transfer.
However, both parties seem motivated to find a resolution.
As the transfer window approaches, this will undoubtedly be a story to watch closely.
