"Barcelona have been linked with a January move for Joao Cancelo in recent days as the full-back wants to leave Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal this winter. The defender is said to be aware of interest from Catalunya, while Barcelona have made contract with his camp on a couple of occasions to discuss a potential transfer. However, the latest update on the saga suggests that Barcelona may be cooling their interest in the Portugal international."
"According to Diario Sport, Barcelona aren't quite convinced about a deal for Cancelo this winter. The priority remains a center-back, while the defender's salary also looks to be a problem. Cancelo earns around €15 million per season, a figure that seems out of Barcelona's reach, even if Al-Hilal were to help out. Inter now look favorites to sign Cancelo this winter, while Barca will continue to hunt for a low-cost, left-footed center-back."

Interest in signing Cancelo appears to be cooling as the club prioritizes a centre-back signing. Cancelo's reported salary of around €15 million per season presents a significant financial obstacle. Winter transfer constraints make bringing in a quality player difficult without clear value. Inter Milan have emerged as favourites to sign Cancelo, while Barcelona continue to target a low-cost, left-footed centre-back.
