"Fabrizio Romano has offered an update and says that Barca have now made a move and are hoping to bring in Cancelo on loan for the rest of the season. Barcelona are reportedly willing to pay a part of his salary but it seems talks are still ongoing between both clubs to reach some kind of arrangement regarding Cancelo's wages."
"We'll have to wait and see what happens next but it looks like Cancelo is a real option for Barca this winter. The club had been looking for a center-back to replace Andreas Christensen but have struggled to find many quality short-term options in the winter market. Cancelo's versatility does mean that he can play in both full-back positions which would allow Jules Kounde to move back into central defence if required by Hansi Flick."
Barcelona have submitted a bid to bring Joao Cancelo back on loan during the January transfer window. Cancelo wants to leave Al-Hilal and aims to return to Catalunya, while Inter also show interest. Barcelona hope to secure a loan for the remainder of the season and are prepared to cover part of Cancelo's salary, with negotiations ongoing between the clubs about wage contributions. The club pursued a centre-back replacement for Andreas Christensen but found few suitable short-term options. Cancelo's ability to play both full-back positions would allow Jules Kounde to shift back into central defence under Hansi Flick.
