One of the names that is being mentioned with the most force is that of **Joao Cancelo**<\/p>  <p>The Portuguese player, although he has a contract until 2027, <strong>will go on loan from Al Hilal<\/strong> in January. The Italian coach Simone Inzaghi does not count on the 31-year-old full-back, who already spent a season on loan at Bar\u00e7a (23\/24) and has barely played 6 games (469 minutes) for the Saudi team so far in 25\/26<\/p>  <p>Cancelo has expressed to his agent, Jorge Mendes, his desire to return to the Blaugrana team, although he would arrive to be a substitute for Jules Kound\u00e9 and Alejandro Balde. Hansi Flick maintains full confidence in the Frenchman and the Portuguese player, with Eric Garc\u00eda and Gerard Mart\u00edn being the available replacements for both flanks.<\/p>  <h2>Flick not convinced by Cancelo signing<\/h2>  <p>In that regard, the Bar\u00e7a coach believes that, as far as the winter market is concerned, the ideal would be to sign another center-back, as the wings are well covered at the moment. The problem is that **both Eric and Gerard have established themselves in alternative positions** (defensive midfielder and center-back) and, if Kound\u00e9 or Balde suffer any physical problems, they will have to return to the wings.<\/p>  <p>However, Flick would prefer to go for another center-back for the central defense, where for the moment the only undisputed starter is <strong>Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong>. <a data-external=\"0\" data-intl-links-en=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/fc-barcelona\/ronald-araujo-returns-to-training-with-barca-and-could-return-in-super-cup_315641_102.html\" data-intl-links-es=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/fc-barcelona\/ronald-araujo-vuelve-entrenar-con-barca-podria-regresar-supercopa_315641_102.html\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/fc-barcelona\/ronald-araujo-returns-to-training-with-barca-and-could-return-in-super-cup_315641_102.html\" rel=\"follow\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Ronald Araujo vuelve a entrenar con el Bar\u00e7a y podr\u00eda regresar en la Supercopa\">Ronald Araujo<\/a> only returned to training after the new year and still has a lot of work to do to regain his best form.<\/p>  <p>With Christensen injured for around four months, it would be very risky to face the rest of the 25\/26 season without another reliable alternative at center-back. Joao Cancelo would be a valuable reinforcement thanks to **his versatility to play as a full-back on both sides** and would allow Kound\u00e9 and Balde to get more rest.<\/p>  <p>Beyond this factor, there is another significant obstacle that complicates the return of the player from Barreiro to Bar\u00e7a. One that also influenced the Catalans&#8217; options to negotiate his transfer in the summer of 2024, when **Manchester City** finally sold him to Al Hilal for \u20ac25 million.<\/p>  <h2>Joao Cancelo&#8217;s Salary Takes Him Away from Barcelona<\/h2>  <p>Joao Cancelo signed with Al Hilal for three seasons with <strong>a very high salary: 15 million net per year<\/strong>. The Saudi club would agree to cover around 50% of his wages to facilitate his departure in January, but Bar\u00e7a, still freeing up salary cap space thanks to Christensen&#8217;s absence, would have difficulties making room for the Portuguese full-back at this time<\/p>  <p>The loan would be straightforward, with no option to buy, but **it would cost the Catalans around 4 million**. A high figure for a player who, while he could be a valuable replacement, also runs the risk of playing little in the decisive stretch of 25\/26.<\/p>  <p>Another interesting option for Cancelo, who is determined to return to Europe, would be to sign for <strong>Inter Milan<\/strong>. The Portuguese player also spent a season on loan with the &#8216;nerazzurri&#8217; (17\/18), scoring 1 goal and providing 4 assists in 28 games. Finally, <strong>Juventus<\/strong> ended up signing him in the summer of 2018 for \u20ac40 million. A year later, City paid \u20ac65 million for his transfer.<\/p>  <p>In Barcelona, Joao **played 45 games in which he scored 4 goals and provided 5 assists** under Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez in the 23\/24 season, the Catalan&#8217;s last on the azulgrana bench. The defender has shown several gestures of affection towards the club since his departure, but it is unlikely he will manage to return this month.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joao Cancelo will leave Al Hilal on loan in January and the Portuguese is pressuring his agent, Jorge Mendes, to return to Bar\u00e7a.
