La Liga
With the almost closed signing of Nico Williams, FC Barcelona already has its next target defined: bringing back Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese full-back has become a priority to reinforce a key area in Hansi Flick's scheme. After a season of high wear on the wings, the new coach has made it clear that he needs a reliable and versatile player, and Cancelo fits perfectly into that profile.
The former Manchester City player, who already had a spell at Barça on loan, left a good impression both in the dressing room and on the field. Flick is aware of his career trajectory and values his ability to adapt to different roles in defense and attack. Additionally, the player has expressed his desire to return, which facilitates negotiations with his current club, Al-Hilal.
Barcelona wants to re-sign Joao Cancelo
The initial steps have already begun. Although there isn't a formal offer yet, Barça is considering the possibility of presenting a proposal close to 15 million euros. Everything will depend on how the planned departures unfold and the budget availability after Nico's signing.
In parallel, Deco and his team are also exploring other options, such as Vanderson and Pubill, although none provide the immediate guarantees that Cancelo does. Therefore, the return of the Portuguese is, as of today, the most realistic and desired option.
With Joan García and Roony Bardghji already signed, and Nico about to be announced, the club is starting to shape a renewed squad. The goal is clear: to build a competitive team from the first day of preseason.
