"Although reports earlier today suggested that Hansi Flick is not too keen on signing Joao Cancelo, it appears the saga is far from over. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has offered some key insights into Cancelo's transfer saga, effectively confirming that Barcelona are still in the race. Romano also confirmed that the player himself is keen on returning to Barcelona, whereas Inter Milan are waiting on the sidelines."
"The coming days, therefore, could prove to be critical as far as Cancelo's future is concerned, as the player awaits the final call from Laporta and co. One thing is for sure, Barcelona only remain outsider in the race to sign the Portuguese international as the club lack the financial firepower to complete the deal without any hassle, especially knowing that the player earns a jaw-dropping €15 milllon salary in Saudi Arabia."
Joao Cancelo is interested in returning to Barcelona and prefers to leave Saudi Arabia. Barcelona remain in contention for the signing but can only propose a loan that covers part of Cancelo's salary. Cancelo's agent Jorge Mendes is in regular contact with Joan Laporta. Barcelona are assessing whether re-signing the Portuguese international makes economic or sporting sense given their initial search for a centre-back. Inter Milan are prepared to sign Cancelo in January and are waiting on the player's decision. Al Hilal would be unhappy with a partial-salary loan. Barcelona lack the financial firepower to complete a permanent deal for Cancelo, who earns €15 milllon annually.
