Barca have made their feelings clear on Cancelo and would be keen to see him remain at the club, and that feeling is believed to be mutual. However, they will only make a move for the player if a loan option is available, whereas City want to sell him permanently.
Barca are prepared to act "patiently" to secure Cancelo... Sporting director Deco plans to wait until later in the window, when Pep Guardiola's determination to part ways with Cancelo could force City to agree to another loan deal.
City will continue to look for a permanent buyer for Cancelo, with agent Jorge Mendes instructed to find the right-back a home away from the Etihad, but Barcelona believe that they can win the race for his signature by waiting until later in the window.
