Arsenal Enter Joao Cancelo Race, Ready to Pay More than Barcelona!

Arsenal are interested in signing Joao Cancelo from Manchester City if Barcelona cannot afford to sign him, according to The Sun. Cancelo's contract with Man City lasts until June 2027, but he has fallen out of favor with Pep Guardiola and is unlikely to stay at the Etihad Stadium.

Barcelona's financial difficulties make it challenging for them to meet Man City's £40 million asking price for Cancelo. Reports suggest that Barcelona are willing to do another loan move for the Portuguese international but City want to offload the player this summer.

Since his loan move at the start of the 2023/24 season, Cancelo has become a fixture in Barcelona's starting XI. The wingback has made a total of 32 appearances in all competitions and is preferred in the position by Xavi Hernandez.

It has to be seen if Barcelona would be willing to cough up Manchester City's asking price if not Arsenal look set to swoop in and make Cancelo a Gooner this summer.
