Manchester City do not intend to loan out Joao Cancelo once again, but rather permanently sell him + Barcelona has been made aware of this. The English side will be open to offers worth around €20M-€30M. However, Cancelo wants to stay. @alexpintanel

I would prioritize Nico and resigning the other Joao over this one. But would be open to keeping him if possible
buy him for 25 mil , put him right back, sell Kounde for 60 million.
Joao Cancelo is good offensively, he is just bad at defending and very exploitable. We saw this on P$S and Madrid matches. I would argue that Cancelo might thrive under Flick since he likes to use the full backs on full attack mode. And he might he given a more “free role” like on the right flank or on the center midfield
Don’t fall for it, he only wants Barca, if he insists that to city they have no choice. Pep doesn’t want him back so they have no choice but to continue loaning him out to us so we pay his wage and then they can hope we buy him again next year.
Cancelo needs to be in a team with fast and physical players that can cover for him. We are not that, never have been. All our full-backs in the last few years have failed because we don’t have the unreal control of Mids that we had before, and Alba just was a different gravy. He sprinted the whole length of the pitch so many times in a single game.
All top teams in the world now have top defenders who turned into full backs than the other way. Full-backs are the weak links in modern football because of how much modern football demands from them. It has also been our biggest weakness since Dani Alves left the first time.
Our priority should be a defensive midfielder and left winger. City will eventually fold because Pep doesn’t want him and cancelo doesn’t want city. Loan or nothing.
The man cannot defend, in big games we need players who want to defend . No thank you
He’s brilliant in offense and a liability in the defense. I trust the coach to evaluate whether he’s worth the risk and if he should be kept.
Id say extend his loan with a optional buyout clause, that way we can get Nico Williams and a good DM first, then see if Joao Cancelo is able to thrive under Flickball or not.
I’m fine with ending the cancelo experiment
€20m euros is not bad but keep in mind that man city doesn’t want him and it seems like none of the other top teams want him as well. I would see if I could lower to 15 and I’d do it.
Good player against average LaLiga teams but a liability against teams with fast wingers like Madrid or PSG. Definitely not worth paying for him,I’d rather use that 20-30M for players we actually need
25M, that should be enough
This guy would be amazing at leverkusen
I’m not sure if the club can afford that, especially if the signings of nico and a dm happen, but i wouldn’t be against it.
20 M is a good deal. Hope Barca can make financial movements and fast
We need Nico a DM and I totally would give canceló a chance
