Joao Cancelo has had two loan spells away from Manchester City in the past year, first with Bayern Munich and then with Barcelona. While Barcelona did not secure a permanent deal for Cancelo, they have been linked to another possible move for the full-back. However, recent reports suggest that Barcelona’s main focus is on securing a deal for Nico Williams, leaving Cancelo with a Plan B option.
If a move to Barcelona does not materialize, Cancelo is reportedly open to returning to Italy, where he has previously played for Inter Milan and Juventus. During his loan spell at Barcelona, Cancelo made a significant impact in both La Liga and the Champions League, showcasing his abilities on the pitch. If he is not part of Pep Guardiola’s plans for the upcoming season, City will need to find a suitable solution for Cancelo, whether that be another loan move or a permanent transfer to a club willing to pay the right fee.
Cancelo’s future remains uncertain as Barcelona’s focus shifts to other targets, but the player’s willingness to return to Italy provides City with options for dealing with the full-back if he is not in their plans for the upcoming season. It will be important for City to find a solution that benefits both the club and the player as they navigate Cancelo’s potential next move.
