So far it has been a tough season for Barcelona, but one of the bright spots has been Joao Cancelo. The 29-year-old joined last summer on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City, and has impressed, despite regularly playing away from his natural right-back position.
Understandably, Barcelona are hoping to re-sign Cancelo this summer. It will not be an easy operation due to their ongoing financial problems, but there is still hope that a deal can be agreed with Man City.
This is even more the case that Man City does not see Cancelo as having a future with them, as per MD. As such, they are negotiating this exit once again, whether it be to Barcelona or another club.
Barcelona they will hope they can win the race to sign Cancelo. They believe that they have the full desire of the player to say, which should give an advantage. However, they still need to stump up the cash to buy permanently, which is easier said than done at this stage.
