The English club is still interested and asks the player for time to sign him

Barça has agreed to the footballer while waiting for the agreement with City

Joao Cancelo has become Barça’s priority objective in the final market phase. Some more signing could arrive, but all efforts are focused on the Portuguese side. The talks are well advanced, but Arsenal have meddled. According to the ‘Daily Mail’, the London club have confirmed to the player that they want him but are asking him for time to tackle some outings.

Barça is aware of Arsenal’s movements, which has been speaking with the player since the beginning of the summer. Arsenal’s break-in could only complicate matters with a Manchester City who prefer to sell Cancelo rather than give him away, but there is a lot of optimism because an agreement has been reached with the footballer and they don’t think things will go wrong.

What Barça does have is a hurry. The club warned Mendes last week that he was not going to wait too long for the side and that he wanted to unravel the operation for better or worse this week. Jorge Mendes is going to have important contact with City today and at Barça they hope that there may be white smoke.

At the moment, there are economic discrepancies due to the transfer fee and the purchase option price, but at Barça they believe that they can be corrected and an agreement can be reached. The Blaugrana club counts on formalizing the signing this week to focus the last ten days of the market on departures and one or two more incorporations.
