Arsenal is considering making a move to sign Joao Cancelo from Manchester City this summer if Barcelona cannot secure a permanent deal for the Portugal international. Cancelo has been on loan with Barcelona this season after falling out with City manager Pep Guardiola over playing time. While Cancelo has expressed his desire to stay at Barcelona permanently, the club is struggling with financial issues and may not be able to meet City’s £40 million valuation.
City is eager to offload Cancelo in the summer, and Arsenal is reportedly monitoring the situation closely. Manager Mikel Arteta is said to be on alert for the possibility of signing Cancelo if Barcelona cannot finalize a deal. While City may prefer not to sell to a title rival like Arsenal, they may have to consider lower offers if Barcelona cannot meet their valuation for Cancelo.
Cancelo’s future remains uncertain as Barcelona’s financial constraints may prevent them from signing him permanently. Arsenal’s interest in the player adds another layer of complexity to the situation, with City potentially having to lower their asking price if a deal with Barcelona falls through. Cancelo’s desire to stay at Barcelona could force City into accepting a lower fee than they initially wanted for the player.
