🤝Total agreement: João Cancelo will stay at Barcelona | OneFootball

The transfer market soap opera has come to an end. FC Barcelona and Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal have reached a definitive agreement for Portuguese full-back João Cancelo to remain permanently with the Catalan club, with only the formal signing of the official documents still pending.

The details of the deal and Flick’s plan

Cancelo, who already spent the last six months on loan with the Blaugrana side, will sign a new contract tying him to the club for the next two seasons. The transfer has been structured at a fee of around €10 million.

The news comes as a huge relief for head coach Hansi Flick. The German manager’s immediate intention is to include the Portuguese defender in the traveling squad so he can take part in the upcoming preseason training camp in England.
