Barcelona plan to close Cancelo's permanent transfer in 2024

Joao Cancelo is one of the signings of the summer transfer window who is wanted by Barcelona to stay for more seasons. The 29-year-old has already scored two goals and provided one assist in the colours of the Catalan club and has become a key player in Xavi Hernandez's squad.

The Catalan giants negotiated with Manchester City for his permanent transfer as soon as they saw the Portuguese right-back's performances. Despite the fact that the two sides disagreed on the transfer fee, they have managed to reach a pre-agreement.

However, the agreement between the two parties is not yet closed. The Catalan giants want to seal his permanent transfer as soon as possible so that no club can move for him.

As a result, according to the 'Daily Mail', the La Liga side plan to close their deal with the Sky Blues in January 2024, just as the new year begins. Cancelo is also willing to stay in Spain as he has repeatedly shown his love for his current club.
