Barcelona has reportedly reached a pre-agreement with Manchester City for Joao Cancelo, according to a report by Spanish writer Adrian Sanchez. The 29-year-old fullback wants to transfer to Spotify Camp Nou, but it is unclear whether they will be able to close the deal.

Cancelo needs to permanently leave Manchester City if he wants to play first-team football on a regular basis since he has dropped down the pecking order there. He spent last season’s loan period at Bayern Munich, and this summer he will try to determine his long-term plans.

He will be extremely tempted by the chance to play for one of the biggest teams in the world and will try to establish himself in La Liga. It is said that he has already reached a personal agreement with the Catalan giants.

Cancelo should prove to be a quality signing for the appropriate price. Barcelona needed to add more talent and depth in the defensive zones. In both the Premier League and Serie A, the Portuguese international has established himself to be a solid full-back. He most definitely has the talent to succeed in La Liga right now.

Due of their current financial situation, Barcelona will be hoping to sign him for a fair price. Last season, the Blaugrana were successful in winning the league, but they struggled in European competitions. They must improve their defense and attack this summer if they want to perform well in the Champions League the following season.

Cancelo might be a crucial member of their team, and the Barcelona way of playing should suit him well. Cancelo will undoubtedly give their offense a new dimension moving ahead. Xavi Hernandez enjoys fluid-attacking football.

The 29-year-old defender is adaptable enough to play both left-back and right-back. His adaptability will be a benefit to Barcelona. Meanwhile, it is obvious that Manchester City does not consider him a crucial player. So it makes sense that they would sell him and use the proceeds to sign new players.

If the two teams can agree on the transfer before the summer transfer window ends, it will be exciting to watch. Recently, Barcelona moved to sign the multiple Premier League champion. A summer agreement should be possible after reaching a pre-arrangement with all parties.
