"The Blaugrana also stated that his signing would be made official on Tuesday before his formal presentation as a new arrival. "Joao Cancelo arrived in Barcelona at lunchtime on Monday," the statement started. "The Portuguese full-back, still an Al Hilal Saudi FC player, passed the relevant medical and physical tests at Barcelona Hospital with the signing to make him a Blaugrana to come on Tuesday.""
"Cancelo will join Barcelona on loan for the remainder of the season, with the Catalans covering around €5 million in his salary. The 31-year-old right-back already knows the club, having spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Barça from Manchester City. Ever since, Cancelo has been keen on a return and waited until late in the summer before signing for Al Hilal, after it became clear that a move to Barcelona would not be possible."
Joao Cancelo has passed medicals in Barcelona and will sign officially on Tuesday to join FC Barcelona on loan for the remainder of the season. Barcelona will cover about €5 million of his salary. The 31-year-old right-back previously spent the 2023/24 season at Barça on loan from Manchester City and is familiar with the club. Cancelo waited after a summer opportunity to join Al Hilal when a return to Barcelona was not possible. He declined an offer from Inter Milan this month and insisted on returning to Barcelona, a move now arranged.
