Although his official loan to Barcelona FC ended on June 30, Joao Cancelo continues to be listed as a player for the Catalan team on the club's website, wearing the number '2' he carried last season. Interestingly, the Portuguese defender also still appears on the Manchester City website, the club to which he belongs. This situation reflects Barça's desire to have Cancelo back for the upcoming season, although his return to the Catalan city could be delayed until the final days of the transfer market.

Barça and Cancelo are in agreement to continue their professional relationship, but they must first await approval from Manchester City, which currently has other plans for the player. As reported by the Sport newspaper, City's coach, Pep Guardiola, does not count on Cancelo, and the sports director, Txiki Begiristain, has been seeking a permanent transfer for the full-back for weeks, an option that Barça cannot afford financially at this time.

Barcelona's sports management, led by Deco, has chosen a patient strategy. With Jules Koundé, Héctor Fort, and Julián Araujo covering the right-back position, there is no immediate urgency to finalize Cancelo's arrival. The club's hope is that the player will pressure Manchester City to facilitate a new loan.

Guardiola does not want him in his squad

Barça has two key allies in this situation. The first is Cancelo's agent, Jorge Mendes, who is working to find the best possible outcome for his client. The second is Guardiola, who clearly does not want the Portuguese in his team. The Catalan coach has previously loaned him to Bayern and then to Barça, and Cancelo will not participate in City's tour of the United States, hoping to resolve his future upon their return.

When Guardiola requests Cancelo's exit again, Barça, always mindful of LaLiga's financial fair play restrictions, will be ready to negotiate with City. The Catalan club is confident that a favorable solution will be reached for all parties involved, as stated by Guardiola in a recent public appearance in Catalonia.
