Barcelona preparing move for Manchester City right-back Joao Cancelo

In a strategic move, Barcelona is preparing to table a conclusive bid for the Manchester City defender, Joao Cancelo.

Joao Cancelo inked a landmark deal with the English Premier League giants, Manchester City, in the summer of 2019. The contractual agreement, valued at a staggering £27.4 million, encompassed a six-year commitment. In a mutually beneficial exchange, Danilo was transferred to Juventus as part of this arrangement. This intricate transaction, evaluated at an impressive aggregate of £60 million, cemented Cancelo’s status as the most exorbitantly priced right-back in history.

Over his illustrious tenure with Manchester City, Joao Cancelo showcased his prowess in a total of 98 appearances, registering 5 significant goals that contributed to the team’s successes.

The contemporary evaluation of Joao Cancelo’s market worth, meticulously calculated by Transfermarkt.com, stands at an impressive sum of 50 million euros.

The Portuguese international has admirably represented his nation in 44 matches, embellishing his journey with 8 crucial goals.

As the current month unfolds, Joao Cancelo’s intentions to part ways with Manchester City are abundantly clear, with his primary destination of interest being none other than Barcelona.
