Joao Cancelo, a 32-year-old Portuguese full-back, is closer to becoming a new player for Barcelona this summer transfer window after Al-Hilal has taken steps to facilitate his departure. Discussions between both clubs are ongoing, and the Saudi team hopes to finalize the transfer for a sum close to €10 million, while the player continues training alone in Portugal. 

The future of the Portuguese international has experienced several days of uncertainty, but the scenario is starting to clear up. The player's priority remains to return to Camp Nou, and both the Barcelona club and his surroundings are keeping negotiations open to try to close the deal before the end of the transfer window. 

Joao Cancelo and Al-Hilal Closing In

The defender's situation took a turn after his absence from Al-Hilal's preseason training camp. Various Saudi media outlets provided opposite versions of this episode: some pointed to a possible disciplinary conflict, while others maintained that the player had permission not to join the training camp.

Regardless of these versions, the relevant aspect is that the Saudi club is already working on his departure. Joao Cancelo has a contract until 2027, but the entity has opened the door to negotiate his transfer and hopes to reach a definitive agreement with Barcelona. 

Recent reports place the transaction price around €10 million, an amount lower than initially speculated during the first half of the summer. This adjustment has helped practically unblock the negotiations.

Barcelona Keeps Joao Cancelo as a Priority

Within Barcelona's sports planning, the Portuguese international remains one of the priorities to strengthen the full-back positions. Hansi Flick considers his versatility to be able to play on both defensive flanks, a quality highly valued by the technical staff. 

During his previous spell at Barcelona, the Portuguese player once again became an important part of the rotation. In the second half of last season, he played 23 official matches, with 2 goals and 3 assists, numbers that reinforced the club's intention to negotiate his continuity. 

While the agreement between the entities is being finalized, Joao Cancelo continues to train individually in Portugal, awaiting final authorization to join the Barcelona team. 

The Deal Enters its Decisive Phase After Being Unblocked

Discussions between Barcelona, Al-Hilal, and agent Jorge Mendes remain open with the aim of exchanging the final documentation. The Saudi club has already shown willingness to negotiate and now awaits the final decision from the Catalan club regarding the financial conditions of the transfer. 

If there are no changes in the situation in the coming days, Joao Cancelo could complete his return to Barcelona before the market closes. Negotiations have been unblocked, and both parties are working to make the agreement official as soon as possible.
