According to the Daily Sporting News.
Manchester City football club
For the Portuguese wingbacks
Cancelo (name)
The price tag is 40 million euros.
Barcelona
There are two options at the moment: either renew the player's lease and include a buyout clause, or buy him outright. However, due to its financial situation, Barcelona cannot afford this at the moment, but negotiations between the two sides are progressing gradually, mainly thanks to the player's agent, Mendes.
In February this year, Barcelona had promised Cancelo that they would consider him as a long-term strategic signing, and the player agreed to sign with the club beyond 2027 as a result. Cancelo has excelled at Barcelona and despite receiving offers from other clubs, he still wants to stay at Barcelona.
Cancelo's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of some giants. Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and a number of Saudi Arabian teams have all expressed their willingness to make a bid for the player. Manchester City were inclined to sell Cancelo to the highest bidder, but the player himself only wants to play for Barcelona, so those talks have been called off.
Currently, Barcelona has two viable options:
Fixed Transfer Fee + Floating Bonus
: Barcelona signed Cancelo by paying a fixed transfer fee with a floating bonus.
Renewal of lease with mandatory buyout clause
: It's a way Barcelona would prefer to ease the financial pressure in the short term while securing Cancelo's future.
