"He is a player of quality, of level, and an operation that could hardly have been carried out. It happened by chance, because he has an agreement that allows him to leave his club, and because he is a player who has always dreamed of coming to Barça. Whenever he has come, he has even adjusted his salary, and it fits perfectly with what we can do here."
"Cancelo gives us more solutions that we did not have before."
"In January, our objective was to improve the quality of the squad. I think Cancelo improves the team and that's the most important thing."
Joao Cancelo returns to Barcelona to expand tactical options and provide immediate impact for Hansi Flick's team. The signing is positioned as a quality addition rather than a luxury purchase. Financial limitations initially made the deal unlikely, but an exit agreement and Cancelo's willingness to adjust his salary enabled the move. The transfer aligns with a winter strategy focused on targeted quality improvements rather than multiple signings. A medical is scheduled for Saturday morning in Barcelona before the return is officially confirmed. The player is presented as matching both sporting and financial realities.
