TOP STORY: Barcelona, AC Milan eye Man City’s Cancelo
Barcelona is monitoring the situation of Manchester City‘s Joao Cancelo as the LaLiga leaders aim to strengthen at right-back, as has been reported by Diario Sport.
Cancelo has struggled for Pep Guardiola’s side since returning from the World Cup, but Barca see the Portugal international as a top option at right-back even with City likely demanding a transfer of at least €70m.
The Blaugrana are also looking at various right-backs for the summer, with Bayern Munich‘s Benjamin Pavard and Borussia Dortmund‘s Thomas Meunier among them.
Regardless of what happens, any move for Cancelo will likely depend on whether Barcelona can transfer United States star Sergino Dest, who is on loan at AC Milan. The Serie A side is unlikely to permanently sign Dest at the season’s end, and has also expressed interest in Cancelo.
The Catalan giants have held a long-term interest in the 28-year-old Cancelo, having come close to signing him from Valencia in 2018. He came close again while at Juventus before being sent to Manchester City in a 2018 transfer that saw right-back Danilo head the other direction.
