Zapping World Eleven Cristiano Ronaldo: The record numbers
Will Barça succeed in finding its long-awaited right side? Last season, Xavi positioned Jules Koundé in this position and the French international did quite well. Didier Deschamps had even imitated the Catalan coach by positioning the former Bordeaux player in this position for the World Cup in Qatar. But the 24-year-old Frenchman feels more comfortable in the center and Barça is looking for a specialist in the position. The name of João Cancelo is appreciated in Catalonia, especially since the Portuguese is no longer wanted at Manchester City. But the Catalan club wants to quickly complete the arrival of the 29-year-old defender.
Barça will not wait for Cancelo
If he appears to be the club’s priority as a right-back, Barça will not wait forever for the Lusitanian international (44 caps). According to the Catalan media Sport, the 2023 Spanish champion is giving himself until Sunday to complete the transfer of Cancelo. Otherwise what, Barça will turn to other avenues in this sector. The name of Ivan Fresneda (18), Valladolid’s revelation last season, comes up a lot in Spain. Real Madrid are also interested.
❗️If Barcelona don’t complete the signing of Joao Cancelo by this Sunday, they will look at other targets for the right back position.

To sum up
In search of a professional right-back to put Koundé back in the centre, Barça would like to secure the services of João Cancelo, who is more desired on the Manchester City side. But the Catalan club gives itself until Sunday to complete the transfer of the Portuguese, before exploding other tracks.
