The name of Joao Cancelo goes back to sound with force in the orbit of the FC Barcelona. The Portuguese has a contract with Manchester City until 2027 and, with no place in Pep Guardiola's plans, he will go out on loan again this summer

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Joan Laporta left clear in his last interview that the signing of a right side keeps on being priority for the FC Barcelona this summer, together with the arrival of a pivote and another mediocentro offensive. As it advances the program 'Tot coast' of Catalonia Ràdio, the club sees feasible the negotiation by Joao Cancel, considering that the player does not have place in the plans of Pep Guardiola for the 2023/24.

After descartar to the luso in winter by the problems with the Fair Play financial, Mateu Alemany and Deco would restart in brief the contacts by the international Portuguese to close his cession by a season, without option of compulsory purchase, taking for granted that the Manchester City will not hinder his exit, although if it would be necessary to resolve several subjects in the financial.

The wage of Joao Cancel, the big obstacle for his arrival to the Barça

With agreement until June of 2027, the one of Barreiro invoices a total of 10.6 million net euros by season, a wage that the Barça is not in conditions to cover entirely. The club prioritises to incorporate players 'low cost' with low index cards to be able to inscribe them before the beginning of LaLiga and, unless they concretise a pair of important sales in the next days, for now the margin salarial not even gives space to approve the new agreement of Alejandro Balde.

It is as well as the Barça will have to negotiate with the City a cession in which, maybe, the group 'sky blue' assume a part of the wage of Cancel or, in his defect, it will be necessary to expect to do box to bid by the luso. For the side, the ideal is to leave to a team 'top' where can play the Champions, being the Barça an alternative that would allow him return to LaLiga after his go through Valencia.

A discount salarial, the another alternative for fichar to Cancel

Another option that would facilitate the arrival of Joao Cancel to Barcelona has to see with that the player accept to go down the wage to facilitate his exit. The side knows that it does not have place in the group 'cityzen' and, after a semester complicated in the Bayern Munich, arrive to a club where have good options to be headline is his priority. In the Barça will have competition (Koundé, Sergi Roberto and Araújo have occupied his place the past season), but the plans of Xavi Hernández aim to fichar a natural player for the right-handed band, by which would not have problems to begin the season in the XI stellar.
