Manchester City Outcast Joao Cancelo faces Man City transfer uncertainty with Barca manager decision after sacking of Xavi

 



Joao Cancelo, currently on loan at Barcelona from Manchester City, might face an uncertain future as the summer transfer window approaches, especially with the Spanish club’s managerial changes looming.


The Portuguese full-back has experienced several loan spells, including a stint at Bayern Munich during Manchester City’s treble-winning season and now a full season at Barcelona. These moves were primarily due to strained relationships at his parent club. This season, Cancelo has made 41 appearances for Barcelona under Xavi Hernandez, contributing to eight goals.


As his loan term nears its end, Cancelo is technically set to return to Manchester City, where he still has three years left on his contract. However, given the circumstances, this return seems unlikely, necessitating further discussions about his future.


When Manchester City and Barcelona finalized the loan deal last summer, there was no clause allowing Barcelona to purchase Cancelo outright. This has led to months of speculation, with recent reports suggesting that Cancelo will not return to Camp Nou.


Xavi’s announced departure from Barcelona has further complicated the situation. Spanish newspaper SPORT reports that Hansi Flick, Xavi’s expected successor, does not favor Cancelo. Flick prefers exploring other options in the transfer market, as he doubts Cancelo’s defensive capabilities fit his system.


Flick’s approach is hindered by Barcelona’s current strategy of preferring loans over permanent transfers. This change of direction is stark compared to two weeks ago when Xavi, despite initially planning to resign, was convinced by the board to stay, thus almost guaranteeing Cancelo another loan. With Flick now poised to take over, this possibility has vanished.


Moreover, Cancelo’s standing has shifted dramatically. Once regarded as the best in his position and a pivotal player in Pep Guardiola’s title-winning teams of 2020-21 and 2021-22, his reputation has since taken a hit.


Consequently, Manchester City will likely seek potential buyers for Cancelo, either arranging another loan or, ideally, recouping as much of the £60 million they invested in him in 2019

 According to footballwave, scouts from both City and Liverpool were present at Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-0 triumph over Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich last weekend. The report suggests that representatives from the two Premier League giants attended the match to observe Bayer star Florian Wirtz and Bayern’s Jamal Musiala. Both players are not only highly regarded talents in Germany but are also considered among the top young prospects in Europe. Liverpool had previously been seen as frontrunners in the race to secure both players’ signatures. However, City’s presence at the recent match indicates that the Reds may face stiff competition in their pursuit. Musiala, aged 20, made the move to the German side from Chelsea’s youth academy in 2019. Since then, he has amassed 150 appearances for the club across all competitions at the senior level, contributing 38 goals and 26 assists. Wirtz, on the other hand, has been a key figure for Leverkusen since joining from fellow German side Koln in 202

  According to reports, Erling Haaland is impressed by a highly skilled player whom Manchester City is keen on signing, as they seek to outshine Real Madrid in acquiring his services. Despite boasting one of Europe’s elite squads, Manchester City is strategically planning for summer signings, anticipating potential changes at the Etihad Stadium, with several players linked to exits.
