Joao Cancelo Wants to Stay at Barcelona Amidst Interest from Other European Giants!

Joao Cancelo is aiming to join Barcelona permanently this summer despite interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich. The Portuguese international arrived on loan last summer and has been a key player, featuring in 32 games under Xavi Hernandez this season.

SPORT reports that Cancelo wants to stay at Barcelona, and his agent Jorge Mendes is working on talks between Barça and Manchester City. The Sky Blues are looking for €40 million but the Spanish giants are requesting a lower fees in their current financial condition.

Barcelona have expressed their wish to keep Cancelo with options including a transfer or a loan with a purchase option. They are working around salary caps, and the deal might be finalized before the Euros.

Whatever happens in regards to the transfer, a return to Manchester City looks unlikely for Cancelo at this point. Will Barcelona be able to give Manchester City's desired transfer fees? Let me know your thoughts...
