According to Diario Sport on Friday, Barcelona would rather sign another loan deal for next season. However, City would only agree to that if it came with a £30 million buyout option.

If Barcelona goes through with the deal or not depends a lot on how Cancelo feels at the end of the season and any other offers that come in. So far, Cancelo has played 14 times for Barcelona in La Liga and the Champions League scored twice, and set up one goal.

At the moment, they are third in the league, four points behind Girona, which is in first place, and two points behind Real Madrid, which is in second place.

Xavi’s team has won three and lost one of their first four Champions League games, putting them ahead of Porto in the head-to-head record.

After the internationals, Barcelona’s season starts up again with a league game at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. On Tuesday, November 28, they host Porto in the Champions League. Reports say that Barcelona is set on getting Joao Cancelo from Manchester City for good next year.

Bayern Munich missed the deadline in September to sign the Portuguese full-back for the season, but Real Madrid beat them to it.

It happened after Bayern decided not to sign Cancelo, 29, forever for £61.6 million because they wanted to use the money to sign other players, like Harry Kane.
