After the sales of Ousmane Dembélé, Franck Kessié and the recent cession of Sergiño Dest, the FC Barcelona finally has attained to concretise an operation that to the beginning of the market of signings seemed really utopian: the reinforcement of the right side with the experienced Joãor Cancel, whose agreement with the club culé seem to be imminent.

The Barça and the Manchester City are adjusting postures

The ex of the Juventus will look for to improve the little brilliant performances that in his moment had footballers like Nelson Semedo, Sergiño Dest, Héctor Bellerin and Sergi Roberto. Jules Koundé did not do it badly, but his ideal position is the central saga, as it has showed so much in the pre-season as in the first duel of The League EA Sports 2023/2024.

Iván Fresneda also was an option for the right side culé
