The possible union between Jo\u00e3o Cancelo and FC Barcelona seems to be increasingly in doubt<\/a>. Although the Barcelona team appears to be interested in having the Portuguese player back for the 2024\/25 season, it is evident that they will not rush to make an excessive expenditure to incorporate him into the team<\/strong>. In fact, the intention is for any negotiation to be conducted in economic terms that are viable for the Catalan club, with the preferred option being to secure his return through a loan.<\/p> However, this aspect is the main obstacle in these discussions, as Barcelona’s desires clash with Manchester City’s objectives<\/a><\/strong>. Although the Manchester team does not seem to have the greatest intention of including the Portuguese player in their sports project, they are aware of possessing a valuable asset for which they expect to receive around \u20ac30 million in a possible sale. This amount does not align with the plans of the team from the City of Barcelona, which has also not seriously considered the possibility of a loan with a mandatory purchase option<\/strong>.<\/p>
