Reports from Sport indicate that Manchester City has set a €50 million asking price for Joao Cancelo, in light of interest from Barcelona and Arsenal. The 29-year-old full-back seems to have fallen out of favor at Manchester City, prompting the club to consider a permanent deal for the Portuguese international rather than a loan move.
Barcelona, keen on securing Cancelo’s services, has faced difficulties in meeting City’s hefty asking price. The La Liga giants were initially looking for a more budget-friendly deal, making negotiations challenging. However, there is a glimmer of hope for Barcelona, as Sport also suggests that they believe they could persuade Manchester City to lower their demands if Cancelo’s departure doesn’t materialize before the transfer window closes.
As the transfer saga unfolds, the future of Joao Cancelo remains uncertain, with potential discussions between Manchester City and Barcelona determining whether the Portuguese full-back will make a switch to the Spanish club.
