Transfer News: Barcelona new boss receives huge boost in chase for Man City star
Barcelona’s chances of re-signing Joao Cancelo from Manchester City have received a boost as the Portugal international has turned down offers from other clubs, including Juventus, to push for a return to the Nou Camp.
Although his loan spell at Barcelona last season didn’t include a purchase clause, the club remains in talks with Manchester City to secure his services.
Cancelo’s desire to join Barcelona has been made clear to City boss Pep Guardiola, and the player’s determination to force through a move has strengthened Barcelona’s position in negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Blaugrana remain hot on the heels of Spain winger Nico Williams.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas revealed in a recent interview that the club was close to being able to afford the signing.
Williams will be in action for Spain in the EURO 2024 final against England in Berlin.
