Barcelona will forget Ivan Fresneda signing if Joao Cancelo joins in the summer
At Camp Nou, there’s optimism that Joao Cancelo will join the club in the summer. And this would bring a significant change of priority as the club would no longer consider the signing of Ivan Fresneda.
Barcelona has been actively working on the signing of Joao Cancelo, as per multiple rumours in the media.
Barcelona have carefully followed through their search for a right winger to strengthen their squad. And now Joao Cancelo has been identified as the top choice for the position.
The 29-year-old, out of favor at Manchester City, is also looking for regular play time, and the La Liga club could offer him an escape route.
Last season after falling out of favour in the first team, he was on loan at Bayern Munich with an option to purchase at the end. But the Bundesliga club did not trigger it.
According to Marca and Relevo, as cited by Fichajes.com, Barcelona will be finalizing a deal with Manchester City for Joao Cancelo and rule out a move for Real Valladolid youngster Ivan Fresneda.
