Barcelona join the battle for Cancelo

Barcelona is another club that is interested in the possibility of attracting Bayern (Munich) defender Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese, who plays on loan at Bayern Munich from Manchester City, has a rather uncertain future and this has led more and more clubs to closely monitor the situation around him and make plans for his possible signing after the end of the season, with Barca among them, he claims "Sport".

The 28-year-old full-back arrived at the Allianz Arena rather surprisingly in the winter after a scandal with Pep Guardiola. He played some very strong games in the beginning, but then he sat on the bench and so far he has only 4 games as a starter and 3 as a substitute.

Bayern have already admitted they are unlikely to pay his exorbitant buyout clause and he will most likely return to the Etihad at the end of the season.

Cancelo has a contract with Man City until 2027, but the chances of him playing for the team again are minimal. It is almost certain that the "citizens" will look for a buyer, and there is no lack of candidates.

One of them is Barcelona, and at Camp Nou they hope to be able to fight for the Portuguese's signature. The manager of the player, Jorge Mendes, who is in close relations with the bosses of the Catalans, can help with this.

Landing Cancelo will not be an easy task, however, given Barca's dire financial situation and stiff competition for his signature. Real Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in him.
