Barcelona’s latest signing gets the ‘Here we Go’ | OneFootball

La Liga champions Barcelona have this weekend closed an agreement to reinforce the club’s defensive ranks. This comes amid long-awaited confirmation of João Cancelo taking his talents back to Catalunya’s capital, this time round on a permanent basis.

Full-back Cancelo has of course seen his name dominate the media headlines surrounding Barcelona throughout the summer to date.

After impressing during a loan stint at the Camp Nou during the 2nd half of last season, the 32-year-old was not shy in making his desire to reunite with Hansi Flick’s side known.

Barca, in turn, had long been working towards an agreement to make Cancelo’s Blaugrana wishes come true…

And as alluded to above, this weekend, the reigning Spanish champions are finally understood to have landed their man. As per a report from transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano:

‘João Cancelo to Barcelona, here we go! Agreement done on contract termination with Al Hilal. Cancelo has authorization to travel early next week, as revealed overnight.’
