Pep Guardiola cries, the decision of this Man City star to join FC Barcelona and shocks Europe

Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, made it clear during his last interview that signing a right-back continues to be a priority for this summer, in addition to signing a pivot and another attacking midfielder. According to the 'Tot costa' program on Catalunya Ràdio, the club sees the negotiation for Joao Cancelo as possible.

After ruling out the Portuguese in the last market due to problems with the financial Fair Play, in a situation that also generated controversy between Xavi and Guardiola due to a misunderstanding, Barça's sports management would once again contact Manchester City and the player to be able to fasten it on loan.

With a contract until June 2027, the Portuguese has a contract of 10.6 million euros net per season, a salary that Barça is not in a position to fully cover. For this reason, Barça will negotiate a possible assignment, in which the salary would be shared. For the full-back, the ideal is to go to a team that can play in the Champions League, also ahead of 'FCBN' who intends to play for the Blaugrana.

The great motivation for Cancelo at Barça

Another option that would facilitate Joao Cancelo's arrival in Barcelona has to do with the player agreeing to lower his salary to facilitate his departure. The full-back knows that he has no place at City and, after a difficult semester at Bayern Munich, reaching a club where he has a good chance of starting is his priority. He knows that with Xavi he will take place because he doesn't have a natural full-back.
