Joao Cancelo is on the verge of becoming the next big signing for FC Barcelona, as negotiations between the Catalan club and Manchester City are reaching their final stage. While the teams have been in talks, it has been Jorge Mendes, the agent of the Portuguese player, who has led the negotiations intensely. Barça has put forward an attractive proposal that could result in an imminent agreement.

Barcelona's current offer consists of an initial loan with a mandatory purchase option in 2025. According to Sport, there is talk of a payment of 7 million euros for the loan, plus the player's wages, and a future transfer fee of 20 million euros. Manchester City, which initially demanded 25 million euros, has had to reconsider its position due to lack of interest from other European clubs and Cancelo's insistence on joining Barça.

Joao Cancelo has made it clear his desire to return to Barcelona, even accepting a salary reduction in exchange for a four-year contract. The player stated during the Euro that he and his family feel very comfortable in the city, which has facilitated the negotiations. Despite lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, Cancelo has chosen not to move to Asia, preferring to continue his career in Europe with Barcelona.

He has been promised to play in his natural position

Juventus tried to compete for the full-back but only offered a loan without a purchase option, leaving Barça as the favorite to secure the services of the Portuguese player. Hansi Flick, coach of Barcelona, has assured Cancelo that he will play in his natural position as right-back, which is an important incentive for the player, who had an uneven performance at Manchester City.

The only obstacle remaining is Cancelo's registration under La Liga's 1-1 rule, which limits spending on transfers and registrations to the amount of club-generated income. However, Barça's board is working diligently to ensure the process is completed smoothly.

In summary, Joao Cancelo is very close to joining FC Barcelona, marking a milestone in his career and strengthening the Catalan team's defense. With his talent and experience, Cancelo promises to be a key player in Flick's scheme, who has strongly advocated for his return to the Camp Nou.
