Although at FC Barcelona they are very optimistic regarding the possible signing of Joao Cancelo, the club must still generate income to be able to undertake the incorporation of the Portuguese... and for Manchester City to accept the conditions

Calendar of FC Barcelona

There are not simple operations in the market of signings for the FC Barcelona, especially when 'depend' that the club generate extraordinary income. With the more than possible traspaso of Joao Cancel, by which is negotiating a conveyance with option to buy, the blaugrana are deshojando the margarita to know his real options, with the 'bathroom' of reality that, if they do not go out before footballers of the changing room, will be impossible to assume his incorporation. The culés already run to time trial.

I cancel it has turned into the maximum priority of Xavi Hernández and company. Reinforce the right side with a player 'natural' for the position has been one of the big aims of this summer and the profile of the Portuguese generates consensus in the club. Jorge Mendes is serving of mediator with a Manchester City that, although now if it opens to the possibility of a cession, demands more money of the that the Barça can assume. Besides that, in the club begin to 'warn' that, if there are not exits, neither could concretise a loan 'simple'.

The Barça, to the limit

'Sportive world' has explained that, before insisting in the agreement by the footballer of 29 years, from the City Condal have to expect to ingresar the remaining money by the last sale of Barça Vision. Already it has received a part, that has served for the registration of the majority of players renewed or fichados in LaLiga, but fault a percentage that, aunado with what the club can generate (and save) with the exits of Clément Lenglet and Sergiño Dest, can facilitate the landing of Cancel this summer.

In the last hours, from the dispatches of the club have oriented all his efforts in concretising the exits of the two 'descartes' of Xavi Hernández. The agent of the central French visited the installations of the club during the afternoon of the Tuesday, but communicated that Lenglet has not taken the definite decision on his future. It has asked more time to decide if it leaves or no to Saudi Arabia, from where have put ten million fixed euros more other five in variables to tackle his traspaso.

On the other hand, and with a much more negative panorama, is Sergiño Dest. It has received proposals to leave to United States and play in the MLS, but for the moment has like priority be still in Europe. The big problem is that they still have not received proposals for his taspaso and the only contacts that have produced are for cessions. The Barça had on the table the possibility to terminate his agreement, but is an option that involves more problems that solutions. His case is open and slope to resolve in this week.

Paramount sales... And to think in Cancel

Once concretised the income by Barça Vision and the exits of Lenglet and Dest, the Catalan entity will try to close the agreement with the Manchester City by Joao Cancel, although up to now they have existed a lot of differences in the negotiations. 'MD' insists in that the ideal operation is the one of a cession 'simple', without option of purchase or economic compensation, but from the Etihad Stadium hardly value it. The second stage is to include the option, that would not want that it was upper to the 30 million euros.

The problem is that the City asks much more that this. Although Pep Guardiola does not have he of face to the next season, do not want to give it and much less to a team that could be rival in the next Champions League. It is thus that, of the only form in which they would access to his loan would be including an option of compulsory purchase that would surpass the 60 millions. For the Barça would be impossible, to day today.
