The João Cancelo saga is about to come to an end, according to reports from Spain.
AS writes that Barcelona and Manchester City are now ‘finalising terms’ of the deal for his summer move.
It’s claimed that Cancelo will be completing the transfer ‘this week’, as he continues to dream of signing for the Camp Nou side.
Manchester City are set to loan the fullback to Barcelona, and in case he plays in 70% of their official matches, then they’ll be obligated to buy him for €30m.
The fullback hasn’t been in Pep Guardiola’s plans since midway through last season, which is when he got loaned to Bayern Munich in January of this year.
The player continues to have a contract with Manchester City running until 2027, so the club has been searching for the best solution for the situation.
Now they hope Cancelo becomes a regular starter in Xavi’s squad so they can cash in and be rid of him for good.
