Joao Cancelo has addressed reports suggesting he reacted negatively to receiving less playing time at Manchester City, stating that he did not have a negative reaction and that he was always committed to the club. Despite interest from Arsenal, Barcelona is keen on signing Cancelo permanently this summer, indicating that his future at City is unlikely. It is now in the best interest of all parties for Cancelo to leave City permanently, as he does not appear to have a future at the club and another loan move would not be beneficial.

Cancelo’s recent interview highlights the discord between him and City, with Pep Guardiola’s decision to not reintegrate him into the squad signaling that a permanent departure is necessary. Barcelona seems like a likely destination for Cancelo, as he has expressed his desire to join the club. Moving him on permanently may result in City accepting a lower transfer fee than they would prefer, but it is important for the club to cut their losses and move on for the benefit of everyone involved.

With Cancelo’s future at City looking bleak, a permanent transfer to Barcelona seems like the most suitable option. The player’s desire to join Barcelona, coupled with Guardiola’s apparent lack of interest in reintegrating him, indicates that a move away from City is necessary. It is important for both Cancelo and City to move on from this situation in order to ensure the best outcome for all parties involved.
