"Indeed, according to SPORT, the Barcelona president spent New Year's Eve in a private lounge at the Restaurant Milos Dubai with agents Pini Zahavi and Jorge Mendes. The meeting took place just days before the opening of the winter transfer window and, although it was a friendly dinner, sources familiar with the gathering say that several football-related names were also discussed."
"Mendes represents Joo Cancelo, who plays for Al-Hilal and is expected to leave this month to return to Europe. Inter Milan have shown interest in his situation, and Barcelona have also made enquiries, although the operation is considered very difficult. Cancelo earns a net salary close to €15 million per year, and any club wishing to sign him would need to assume a significant part of his wages."
Joan Laporta travelled to Dubai for the Globe Soccer Awards and spent New Year's Eve in a private lounge at Restaurant Milos Dubai with agents Pini Zahavi and Jorge Mendes. The meeting occurred days before the winter transfer window and included football-related discussions. Mendes represents Joo Cancelo, who plays for Al-Hilal and is expected to leave this month to return to Europe; Inter Milan have shown interest and Barcelona have enquired, but the move is considered difficult due to Cancelo's near-€15 million net salary. Zahavi represents Robert Lewandowski, whose contract runs until summer and whose future could be decided later in the season.
