Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona continues working so that his staff can give a new jump of quality and Joao Cancel is the name that Xavi Hernández has had in his mind all the summer for his defence. Initiating this new week the culés have continued progressing in the negotiations with the Manchester City to obtain the cession of the defender, as as it has updated Fabrizio Romano.

Already this Monday the skilled journalist in signings reported that it expects that before it arrive the next weekend expects that it arrive the official announcement with which Cancel will dress of Barcelona for the next season. The operation will have an option of purchase by 30 million euros, which will not be compulsory to less than that Cancel fulfil some aims like player culé.

They remain very few fringes so that I Cancel dress of Barcelona

The criteria so that the Barça was forced to buy to the luso would be that it play the 70 percent of the official parties of the Catalan picture and that the club classify to the eighth of Champions League. Both situations seem the sufficiently accessible so that the Barça can remain in property with the defender, although they still will subtract some fringes so that the operation was complete in 100%.

Precisely the value of the option of purchase, right now around the 30 million euros, has been one of the problems that both clubs have not been able to solve. However, Xavi expects that this week can have to his disposal to Cancel, resolving like this a problem that has done him use to Araújo or Koundé like carrileros titled in this start of season.

By the right, where will play in the Barça, Cancel will give depth and will allow that the technical body obtain a footballer of immediate performance, and that already was checked to work in a system like the one of the Barça. Regarding the possible debut of the Portuguese, probably have to be in front of the Osasuna (Day 4), in the last party before the first stop of selections of the course.
