In Barcelona it is very clear that the appearance of João Cancelo on the right wing has been key to increasing the competitive level of the catalan squad. The spanish club needed someone to occupy the right back with authority and the portuguese showed why he is one of the best in the world in his position. Thus, Barça wants to ensure his continuity and made it known to his agent, Jorge Mendes. But the economic limitations weigh on the culés and that is why they established a ceiling figure to be able to assume his incorporation permanently.

The owner of his record, Manchester City, would be willing to part with the footballer, but they made it clear that they will only do so through on a sale. The portuguese knows that he will no longer play for the english team and, both the player and his entourage, want his career to continue in Spain, where João Cancelo found the ideal ecosystem to perform regularly.

But, not everything will be so simple on Barça's path towards the goal of signing the portuguese right defender, since the main problem lies in the player's valuation. Manchester City stood by its market valuation, which is €50M, which represents a very high sum for Barça's economic reality. What works in favor of the culés is that João Cancelo wants to continue playing at the highest level and with maximum prominence, something that Barça guarantees due to his level. That is why they have set a figure to try to buy his move to the english club.

The amount that FC Barcelona would be willing to pay for João Cancelo

FC Barcelona wants to sign João Cancelo to have the position covered for many years and it is according to the spanish newspaper Sport that the catalan club's idea would be to set an acceptable figure of around €25M fixed plus variables depending on personal and collective objectives. And for this they has the OK of the player, who is willing to stand his ground and not study offers from other teams, but without a doubt they will have to sit down to negotiate.
