Cancelo signals Barcelona desire as Al-Hilal talks become complicated | OneFootball

João Cancelo, the Al-Hilal full-back, is pushing for a Barcelona return under Hansi Flick, but talks have become more complicated than expected. He spent last season on loan at Camp Nou and is waiting for a route back.

Barcelona opened negotiations after the season and a 10 million euros deal seemed close, but Al-Hilal now want around 15 million euros, Al-Yaum reports.

Sport reports the defender has continued to court Barcelona on social media, regularly hinting at a comeback.

A few days ago he posted a photo wearing the Barcelona shirt, then on Friday morning shared another image in the club’s kit via Stories. On Saturday he added a black-and-white shot from his Barcelona spell with the song Jovens Milionários as the soundtrack.

His messaging leaves little doubt over his preference, he wants to play for Barcelona next season.
