Manchester City makes desition on Joao Cancelo
Reports from Spain indicate that Manchester City have made a final decision regarding the future of Joao Cancelo at the Etihad Stadium. The Portugal international is currently on loan at FC Barcelona after falling out of favor with Pep Guardiola. Despite previous loan moves to Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona, it seems unlikely that Cancelo will return to Manchester City after this season.
According to Mundo Deportivo and Sport Witness, Manchester City has no plans to bring Cancelo back to the Etihad Stadium. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is working to formalize an agreement that will benefit both City and FC Barcelona, with the possibility of another loan deal for Cancelo, this time with a purchase option.
However, regardless of Cancelo’s decision, Manchester City may be looking to strengthen their full-back position, particularly due to concerns over the aging performances of club captain Kyle Walker. Girona’s Yan Couto, currently on loan from Manchester City, is a potential option, but there have been concerns within the club over his defensive abilities, despite his impressive attacking performances in La Liga this season.
In terms of other transfer news, Brazilian forward Savio has become Manchester City’s first signing for the 2024/25 season, joining from ESTAC Troyes after a successful loan spell with Girona in La Liga.
It seems clear that Manchester City has decided to part ways with Joao Cancelo, and the focus now turns to potential reinforcements for the full-back position. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Cancelo’s future, the club is making strides in the transfer market to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
