According to recent information from Fabrizio Romano, FC Barcelona has already started negotiating the transfer of Joao Cancelo, but Manchester City has made it clear that they will not give the right-back any facilities.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

It is not a secret for anybody that negotiate with the Manchester City is not simple task, all the contrary. Although they do not have economic problems and do not deny to give exit to the players that want to leave, always have left clear that will not give to his footballers so that they reinforce to possible rival. The FC Barcelona knows it very well and is forced to take in account this decisive point in the middle of the conversations by the traspaso of Joao Cancel.

The entity blaugrana, through Jorge Mendes, has achieved an agreement in personal terms with the right side of 29 years, but hardly has begun to negotiate with the Manchester City and already have carried the first 'encontronazo' with the exazulgrana Txiki Begiristain, that already has left clear the conditions so that the player abandon the Etihad Stadium during this window of transfers. It will not be simple for the Barça, in no case.

The Manchester City descarta go back to yield to Cancel

Of agreement to the recent information of the skilled journalist in the market of signings, Fabrizio Romano, the conversations between Barça and City by Cancel already have begun, but are not advanced. Of entrance, have left him know to the Barcelona that are not by the work to yield to the international with Portugal as already they did it in January to the Bayern of Munich, that did not execute his option of purchase by 70 millions and caused that it returned to Manchester when finalising the season.

The 'sky blues' fear that it can repeat the history and for this summer only pose the sale of the player. They want that it go out definitively and it supposes an enormous problem for the Barcelona entity, that is not in economic conditions to do a big outlay to reinforce his right side. Of agreement to the before quoted source, the Barça bets by a cession. Now, they would have to replantearse a lot of things regarding the possible incorporation of Cancel.

The 'another' problem of the Barça

And it is that in the dispatches of the Ciutat Esportiva also concerns that, in case to arrive the side, would have to assume an index card of around 15 million euros. In principle, they will try to reduce it the most possible, but first have to resolve the 'structure' of the traspaso to do arrive the first formal offer to the Manchester City. The folder is opened and, as it seems, will take more than the foreseen in resolving .
