Barcelona is optimistic about finalizing the permanent acquisition of João Cancelo from Al Hilal, despite the negotiations extending longer than anticipated. Talks between the clubs are currently active, with the Catalan team hoping to reach a resolution before the transfer window ends.
This update comes after previous reports from Softfootball indicated that Cancelo is still expected to make his return to Barcelona this summer. Although the transaction has not been finalized in recent weeks, both sides have remained committed to reaching a deal.
Cancelo is reportedly eager to return to Camp Nou after a successful previous stint with the team. Barcelona views Cancelo’s understanding of the club and his versatility on both wings as significant assets as they work to enhance their roster.
As discussions about the final transfer fee with Al Hilal continue, there is increased optimism within Barcelona that any remaining discrepancies can be addressed. Barring any unforeseen developments in negotiations, the Spanish champions anticipate Cancelo completing his return and rejoining Flick’s squad before the conclusion of the summer transfer window.
