Reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano recently tweeted that Barcelona and Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo had reached a personal agreement this summer. According to rumors, Xavi, the manager of Barcelona, is eager to sign the Portuguese players this offseason.

Cancels’s Impressive Numbers At The Allianz Arena Last Season

Cancelo had a respectable loan season at Bayern Munich last year, where he produced a string of standout performances on the right wing. In 21 games for the Bavarian team the previous season on all fronts, the Portuguese full-back scored once and collected six assists.

Based on his average of 1.5 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, 1.0 clearances, 0.8 shoots, 0.9 crucial passes, and 2.3 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga, the 29-year-old has been a solid player for Bayern. He has even been efficient while passing the ball from the right wing, as shown by his league-wide pass success percentage of 85.1% (data from Whoscored).

It will be the end of his current deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Will Cancelo Be A Good Signing For Barcelona?

Cancelo is a capable ball defender who can rapidly identify danger to win the ball back for his team inside his half. When necessary, he doesn’t mind running his foot through the ball, and he possesses the vision to create a few respectable chances for his teammates from wide areas.

The Portugal international can strike the ball powerfully from a distance and dribbles the ball proficiently. Although a left-back when directed, he plays right-back most of the time. The current La Liga champions will undoubtedly consider a player of his caliber and ability to be a significant addition.

We may anticipate Cancelo enhancing Xavi’s defense for Barcelona with more skill. In the coming years, he might even enable the Catalan club to contend for some significant awards. Because he will be a terrific addition for the Nou Camp in the near future, it makes sense for Xavi to pay out some cash to bring the Portuguese superstar there.
