Cancelo saved Barcelona against Porto, this is how much they’d have to pay Man City to keep him

Barcelona managed to reverse a result that seemed adverse and ended up with three vital points to ensure qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League. It was 2-1 in favor of the culés against a Porto that was much more in the development of the match, but found a great Iñaki Peña in the local goal, who replaced in an excellent way Ter Stegen, who has an injury in the FIFA date with Germany.

One of the main protagonists who led Barça's comeback was Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese scored an extraordinary goal in the play following Porto's goal. He appeared on the left wing and cut inside to finish from the right at the goal defended by Diogo Costa. He could do nothing after the violent shot from the right back, who played on the left in this penultimate day of the Champions League.

The concern that Xavi Hernández has is maintaining the squad for next season. The Portuguese is precisely one of the players who could leave, since he belongs to Manchester City. He is on loan and it is not yet known if Barça will be able to use the option of the 30 million that the English team is asking for. The Citizens bought him from Juventus for 65 million euros and want to recover at least half.

The dilemma with Guardiola

It should be noted that Cancelo will no longer have a place at Manchester City unless the coach changes. His relationship with Josep Guardiola is broken and there was no intention to repair it again. For this reason, Barça will try to take advantage of this crossroads in which the citizen leadership finds itself. They want 30 million, but if they do not come close to this figure they will be affected because it will be a player that Pep does not want on his team and they will lose money.
