Barcelona has negotiated a cut-price deal with Manchester City for João Cancelo, securing the Portuguese defender for £24.3 million. Cancelo, 29, is currently on loan at the Nou Camp due to Barcelona’s financial constraints.

City initially sought around £55 million for Cancelo, who spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Bayern Munich, but the deal didn’t materialize.

Amidst a strained relationship with City manager Pep Guardiola, Cancelo saw the opportunity to rejuvenate his career at Barcelona. Despite the club’s financial issues, negotiations have successfully concluded, with Barcelona paying less than half of City’s initial asking price next June.

This transfer depends on Barcelona securing funds amid allegations of irregular payments to La Liga match officials. Cancelo, once considered crucial at City, experienced a rapid fall from grace, joining from Juventus in 2019 for £60 million. He won three league titles in England, adding to his previous successes in Portugal and Italy.

Here are the magical skills and goals displayed by João Cancelo while playing for Barcelona.
