Manchester City’s João Cancelo, on loan at Barcelona, has faced criticism for his performances as a left-back in recent matches. Journalist Xavier Bosch pointed out Cancelo’s lapses in concentration and his decreasing performance levels. Despite scoring four goals and providing four assists this season, Cancelo has failed to make an impact away from home and has struggled to maintain consistency.

Bosch highlighted Cancelo’s inability to replicate his early season form, where he scored two goals in his first three starts. The journalist suggested that Barcelona should consider promoting younger talents like Hèctor Fort instead of retaining Cancelo. However, Barcelona sporting director Deco is keen on extending Cancelo’s stay, considering him one of the best specialists in the world in his position.

Cancelo’s desire to stay at Barcelona has led the club to push for another loan deal despite internal debates over his performance.
