Joao Cancelo already appears registered in the FC Barcelona first team squad for the second half of LaLiga 25\/26. The Portuguese player regains the number ‘2’ jersey, the same one he wore in 23\/24<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> will be able to count on Joao Cancelo<\/strong> for the entire second half of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/a>. The 31-year-old defender returned to the Catalan club this week on a six-month loan<\/a>. Taking advantage of the long-term absence of Andreas Christensen<\/a>, Bar\u00e7a freed up 80% of the Dane’s salary to register the Portuguese international until next June 30<\/p>

Cancelo spent the last year and a half playing for Saudi club **Al Hilal**, with whom he signed until June 2027 after his transfer from **Manchester City** for **25 million euros**. However, coach Simone Inzaghi did not count on him for the second half of the season, and Bar\u00e7a took the opportunity to bring him back.<\/p>

In 23\/24, Joao also played on loan for one season in which he **played 42 official matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists**. Once his federation license was resolved, the player from Barreiro was called up for the Copa del Rey round of 16 tie<\/a> against Racing de Santander<\/p>

Barcelona already has 33 players registered in LaLiga<\/h2>

This way, the Blaugrana squad has 33 players registered in its official roster for LaLiga 25\/26. Nine of them (Diego Kochen, Eder Aller, Jofre Torrents, Xavi Espart, Toomy M\u00e1rquez, ‘Dro’ Fern\u00e1ndez, Juan Fern\u00e1ndez, Guille Fern\u00e1ndez, and Toni Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>) still have youth team contracts, meaning there is only one spot left for the first team<\/p>

All First Division clubs have 25 professional player slots<\/strong> available in their squad. With the signing of Joao Cancelo, there are 24 slots filled.<\/p>
