Man City will sell Joao Cancelo this summer, Barcelona can’t afford him

Joao Cancelo will be sold by Man City this summer and the Barcelona star is wanted by his current club but the Catalan outfit cannot afford him. 

That is according to SPORT, who reports that City will sell the Portuguese star to the highest bidder and have set an initial valuation of €40m.

Barcelona have well-documented financial issues at present and will find it very hard to spend big this summer. The La Liga giants will not be able to turn Cancelo’s loan move into a permanent deal at this stage, leaving the door open for another club to sign the 29-year-old.

There is no way back for the full-back at Man City, despite being a major player for Pep Guardiola in the past, as the Premier League champions’ have evolved beyond him.
