FC Barcelona does the math to sign Joao Cancelo and see if, in addition, they give him the math to go for a midfielder. Bernardo Silva was the preferred option of the coaching staff, but the price of the midfielder is impossible to pay
Joao Cancel is very directed to turn into the fourth reinforcement of the summer of the FC Barcelona. The luso has gone back to the radar culé after the traspasos of Franck Kessié and Ousmane Dembélé and the negotiations go by good way, although there are several fringes for resolving with the footballer and the Manchester City. In this sense, the signing of the side would close definitively the door culé to Bernardo Silva, since the group 'sky blue' will not leave that both land in Catalonia.
And it is that, although the price of Cancel can amortise through a cession without option of compulsory purchase, with Bernardo only there are possibilities of ficharle through a traspaso. The City asks a minimum of 80 million euros by the mediocentro, a price that to the that the Barça only could approach if it closes a pair of high sales by Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, two of the players of the staff culé with more options to go out.
I cancel, much more near of the Barça that other sides
Between the names that the Barcelona directive handles to reinforce the right side (Juan Foyth, Iván Fresneda), Joao is the one who more options has to arrive. This yes, the price of his cession will not have to exceed the 10 million euros and the City will have to descartar include an option of near compulsory purchase to the 60-70 'kilos' in 2024. The luso has agreement until June of 2027 and the club is not had to give him, further of the insistence of Pep Guardiola of not having he.
Besides, the one of Barreiro is forced to accept a discount salarial important to dress the T-shirt culé. For the Barça, the arrival of Cancel would be an addition of luxury for a defence that could close the past season like one of the less goleadas of the five big European leagues. To international level, the luck was another, but a signing of the quality and experience of the luso, definitely, gives a jump of quality to any staff, more if, as in the case of the Barça, there are not available natural players for this position.
