The transfer window is nearing its end, and the football world is abuzz with speculations and rumors. One such transfer saga that has captured the attention of fans and pundits alike is Barcelona’s pursuit of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City. As the clock ticks down, both clubs find themselves embroiled in a potentially intense negotiation.
In recent days, various reports have suggested that Barcelona is keen on securing the services of the Portuguese right-back, who is currently out of favor under Pep Guardiola’s plans at Manchester City. However, it seems that the Catalan giants have yet to make an official offer or establish any communication with the English club.
Contrary to earlier claims, Manchester City has not received any news regarding Cancelo’s potential move to Barcelona, according to SPORT. Furthermore, there is no indication that the player is set to travel immediately to Catalonia or be announced as a member of the Blaugrana squad. These developments cast doubt on the supposed clauses and details that have emerged surrounding the transfer.
The timing of the negotiations adds another layer of complexity to the situation. With only 24 hours remaining in the summer transfer window, both clubs face a race against time to reach an agreement. The rumored friendship between Deco, Barcelona’s Director of Football, and Txiqui Begiristain, Manchester City’s Technical Secretary, was expected to facilitate discussions. However, no such conversation has taken place thus far. It is worth noting that Ferran Soriano, the CEO of Manchester City, previously served as the vice president of FC Barcelona during Joan Laporta’s presidency.

The constant speculation surrounding Cancelo’s future has not been well-received within Manchester City. Despite being a player owned by the club, his exclusion from Guardiola’s plans has fueled the transfer rumors. If Barcelona indeed desires the services of the talented Portuguese defender, a fierce negotiation is anticipated between the two clubs. However, this hinges on Barcelona’s ability to secure the necessary financial backing to comply with the financial fair play regulations and pursue new signings.
As the transfer deadline approaches, fans eagerly await further developments in this ongoing saga. Will Barcelona manage to secure Cancelo’s signature, bolstering their right-back position as desired by Xavi Hernandez? Or will Manchester City stand firm and retain their player? Only time will tell.
The pursuit of Joao Cancelo by Barcelona has become one of the captivating transfer stories of this summer. As negotiations between the two clubs unfold, football enthusiasts around the world eagerly await the outcome. The next 24 hours will prove crucial in determining whether this deal materializes or if Cancelo remains a Manchester City player. Stay tuned for further updates as the transfer window draws to a close.
