Summer surprise? Joao Cancelo is still on Barça's agenda

The plans of the FC Barcelona in the market of signings have seen very reduced in these last weeks because, although it has been approved the plan of economic feasibility by LaLiga and that the Managerial Board, chaired by Joan Laporta, have accessed to present a new guarantee, the conditions still are not given for 'please' to Xavi Hernández in all what has asked for his staff of face to the season 2023-2024.

The difficulties with the Fair Play financial, that seem not finish never, have caused that the Barça have parked several operations that pretended to do. It is the case of the signing of a right side, because at present there is not any player 'natural' in the staff to occupy this position. They had sounded several names in the diary of the sportive direction and the one of Joao Cancel, according to an information of 'SPORT', is the only that keeps , beside the of Iván Fresneda (Valladolid).

The Barça no 'descarta' to Cancel

Although, as already it informed it does some weeks, in the Barça see very complicated the incorporation of the Portuguese player to reinforce the right band, still no descartan to 100% that can launch an offensive to do with his services during the summer, especially because the Manchester City is trying to find him a new team because Pep Guardiola does not have it in his plans of face to the season 2023-2024.

In the City Condal have not insisted in his signing of official way up to now because, between other things, reinforce the side did not split like a priority for the club. However, in the last days Deco would have left clear to the club that thinks that is necessary to reinforce the position to elevate the level of the team, always according to the before quoted source. Iván Fresneda is an option and, also, Cancel is very valued in the Barça, but know that negotiate with the Manchester City is not easy neither economic.

I cancel, cession by a season?

In front of all the economic urgencies that has the Barça, would be very complicated that they were in the capacity to present an offer to the English, by what could put on the messa the option to do with his services by a season through a loan. I cancel has agreement with the 'citizens' until the summer of 2027 and the intention is to concretise a definite sale, by what the Barcelona would have to negotiate very well so that they accept the possibility of the cession.

In any case, this operation would tackle as long as there is margin salarial necessary. The Catalans are not in conditions to do 'madnesses' in the market and have to, first, close the signing of a pivote. It is the big priority and Xavi Hernández has asked that it concretise before they begin the trainings, on 10 July. After this, will analyse all the alternatives... If there is margin salarial.
