In England, the club follows attentive to Joao Cancel, since the Manchester City can facilitate his arrival to loan, without option of compulsory purchase, since the luso does not explain in the plans of Pep Guardiola for the next season.
"The reality was that we decide that it had to go and did not matter us to where went, although it wanted to go to the United, that is our rival", explained Pep on his case. In this sense, to the luso subtract him four years of agreement for fulfilling and, although a traspaso by a mount near to the 50 million euros would be ideal for the interests of the group 'cityzen', a new cession is the most feasible road to rid of him.
The Barça already moves index card by Cancel
In accordance with the journalist Rudy Galetti, of 'SKY Sports', the Barça already has initiated contacts with the City to close the loan of Cancel. Further to have him removed to Ílkay Gündogan, the relation between culés and 'sky blues' is cordial and, with the luso, the Barça can resolve him an authentic 'serial' to the flamante champion of Europe. Joao Comes to play 21 parties with the Bayern in which it added 1 so much and 6 assistances, insufficient to convince to the Bavarians to buy him.
With 29 years, the right-handed side prioritises to keep in the elite, but knows that his stage in the group 'citizen' is sentenced after having forced his exit in January.
