Asked this Friday about the movements in his workforce, Pep Guardiola, the coach of the Cityzens, vehemently retained the Englishman Kyle Walker, tracked by Bayern Munich, and the Portuguese Bernardo Silva, followed by FC Barcelona. But on João Cancelo, not a word from the former Barça technician. Loaned last season to Bayern Munich, the right and left side was not retained by the German training this summer. Back in City, with a long contract until 2027, the former defender of Juventus and Inter must find a way out this August, otherwise he will spend a season on the bench in England.
That’s good, FC Barcelona is on the spot. The Catalan club is the right profile according to Xavi Hernandez, although doubts exist in the Blaugrana management about the character of João Cancelo, and his acclimatization in the locker room and at the club. Negotiations are taking place with Manchester City for a future move. But these could be disturbed by a new arrival on the file.
A new actor arrives
Indeed, according to information from the media AS, Saudi Arabia and its XXL means entered the dance. The club involved has not been revealed, but the entourage of the Lusitanian international is already discussing with a formation, with the authorization of Manchester City. Which is not good news for Barça, the Middle Eastern country having proven its power of attraction all summer long, even on elements under 30 like João Cancelo – Seko Fofana (Al-Nassr ), Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Al-Hilal) or Ruben Neves (Al-Hilal) prove it.
Will FC Barcelona be able to convince Manchester City, and especially João Cancelo, for a transfer this summer? Reply shortly.
