Live Bar, August 15 news according to sources, ESPN, Manchester City and Barcelona are negotiating on the loan agreement of Cancelo.
Barcelona hopes to reach an agreement to lease Cancelo for a season with mandatory purchase rights. Sources told ESPN that the two sides would negotiate further this week. Manchester City is willing to let Cancelo leave, but unwilling to accept the cost reduction. They demand about 60 million euros of compulsory purchase rights.
Cancelo was absent from the Premier League opening match of Manchester City’s 3-0 defeat of Burnley, and he did not enter the team list against Sevilla in Europe Super Cup. Although he went to Asia with Manchester City to participate in the preseason, he did not think he had a future at the Etihad Stadium.
Barcelona is eager to introduce Cancelo to fill the right-back vacancy. The contract between the players and Manchester City will not be until 2027. The Saudi league is also interested in Cancelo, but the source told ESPN, cancelo prefers to move to Barcelona.
