Barcelona has reportedly made a bold move to secure the services of Manchester City star Joao Cancelo, submitting a €27 million offer for the versatile full-back.
The Catalan giants are determined to bring Cancelo back to Camp Nou, despite his underwhelming stint last season during his loan spell.
The Portuguese defender, who spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Barcelona, failed to make the expected impact, and his future seemed uncertain after returning to Manchester City.
However, Barcelona remains keen on the player and is eager to bolster their defensive options as they aim to reclaim domestic and European glory under new manager Hansi Flick.
Cancelo, who has attracted interest from Juventus and clubs in Saudi Arabia, has made it clear that his heart is set on returning to Barcelona.
Despite his struggles last season, the 30-year-old believes he has unfinished business in Catalonia and is determined to prove his worth.
Barcelona’s offer includes a €7 million loan fee, with an option to buy for €20 million. While Manchester City initially demanded a permanent transfer, this offer could tempt them into negotiations.
City is weighing their options as they consider whether to let Cancelo go for good or keep him as part of their squad for the upcoming campaign.
The saga is far from over, but Barcelona’s determination to re-sign Cancelo highlights their commitment to building a squad capable of challenging for top honors once again.
Fans will be eagerly watching to see if the deal materializes in the coming days.
