Barcelona are confident to accept a loan return for João Cancelo for the 2024/25 season.
Both Barcelona and Manchester City have been locked in talks over a renewal deal since the end of the previous campaign.
Cancelo clearly wants to stay at Barcelona and City are happy to offload him ahead of their Premier League title defence.
According to reports from Sports newspaperBarcelona are hoping to speed up the process, with Jorge Mendes the purpose of making an agreement.
City remains firm on its terms, which include a mandatory purchase agreement, to be activated at the end of the season if certain requirements are met.
New Barcelona boss Hansi Flick sanctioned Barcelona's continued push for Cancelo with the German coach confident the Portugal international will be a key player in both full back roles.
Cancelo is currently on holiday, following Euro 2024 with Portugal, but is unlikely to join Barcelona's pre-season tour of the United States.
