FC Barcelona will try to complete the incorporation of Joao Cancelo this summer. The sports management has good reports on the Portuguese player, but within the club his character and personality would be concerned

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona works in reinforcing his right side and Joao Cancel is the big priority for Xavi Hernández. In the last hours has confirmed a principle in accordance with Jorge Mendes, his representative, but still are slopes the negotiations with a Manchester City that will not put eases. The culés will bet by a cession, with option to purchase, but have to expect to know the economic pretences of the 'sky blues'.

In any case, is an incorporation that has asked directly the trainer egarense and that is backed by the sportive direction. Under the orders of Pep Guardiola, Cancel has turned into one of the best players for the band, but lost continuity in the last year, until the point that finish being yielded for the second stretch of the past season to the Bayern of Munich. Also they had an option of purchase, valued in 70 million euros, but did not execute it.

The analysis of the Barça of Joao Cancel

To sportive level, from the club do not find negative points further of the irregularity of which was victim in the past course. It is a right side very complete that, especially, stands out to the hour to add and propiciar the attack of the team. They see him like a complement ideal for the right band, position where there is not a player 'natural' for the moment. I cancel it generates consensus to 100%, but there is a point that concerns more than the account: his character.

'Sportive world' relates that in the club consider that it is a player with winning mentality and that it can be important, but also generates worry that, in the past, has had several encontronazos with different trainers. It lived it, especially, in the Inter of Milan under the orders of Luciano Spalletti in the 2017-18. The Italian finish saying that "if it does not do it well, Cancel fault to the position in which it plays. If you put it to the right, it says that it had to play in the left and the other way around. All do it, but he complains more than the other".

'Machine' to generate problems

With Fernando Santos, of face to the World-wide of 2018, also lived uncomfortable moments, to the point that it remained without assisting to the appointment. In the Juventus, apparently, no sucedió at all... Until, recaló in the Manchester City, had the competition of Kyler Walker and something happened so that Pep Guardiola left to have he. I cancel it wanted to deny the rumours aiming that "it is lie that litigated me with him. It did not feel me important in the team in the last parties. I spoke with the trainer and also agreed. And beside the club decide that it had to go me, that was the best for me".

Finally, in the Bayern with Julian Nagelsmann repeated the history. The trainer confessed that "in a training was not of the all very because it did not like him the situation in which it found . There are players that face better not playing in some party and others, no so much. There was a session in which it did not train like me wanted to, but afterwards speak and has helped him a lot".
