Many rumors have spread in recent days that Barcelona’s management has begun to reconsider buying Joao Cancelo from Manchester City after his poor performances against Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Cancelo scored two goals for Paris Saint-Germain during a 4-1 defeat in the Champions League, before he had a very poor match against Real Madrid that caused Barcelona to practically lose the La Liga title.
However, “Sport” newspaper confirms that the Barcelona administration’s intention remains the same, which is to sign Cancelo permanently, as there is belief from sporting director Deco in his compatriot’s abilities despite all the criticism.
Deco Cancelo has previously promised that he will make every effort to ensure that he stays at Camp Nou permanently, and the sporting director remains true to his promise and does not intend to go back on it no matter what happens.
As for Deco, Cancelo was one of Barcelona’s best players this season, and what happened against Paris and Real Madrid was just a decline that usually happens to all football players, but it never affects their value.
Perhaps Cancelo’s recent decline may lead to City being willing to negotiate a lower value to sell him next summer, after it was said that the English club wants more than 40 million euros.
The 29-year-old participated in 36 matches with Barcelona this season in all tournaments, during which he was able to score 4 goals and assist as many.
