Manchester City preparing "auction" for Barcelona target, Bayern Munich among clubs interested
At the end of the season, Joao Cancelo will depart Barcelona in order to return to Manchester City, his parent club. However, both he and the Catalan giants want to bring him back for the 2024-25 campaign at least, although doing so will be much easier said than done.
Multiple factors are making it difficult for Barcelona in their efforts to re-sign Cancelo. Firstly, Man City want a permanent sale in the summer, but their ongoing financial woes are making this difficult. At this stage, another loan deal is their preferred method, but it appears unlikely that the Premier League giants would be open to this, despite the Portuguese’s first choice being in Catalonia.
Furthermore, interest in Cancelo’s services is growing. Saudi Arabia are aware, while it’s also reported by Relevo that Bayern Munich want to re-sign the 29-year-old, whom they themselves had on loan last season. They believe that he can solve their issues at right-back, which has been a glaring problem for Thomas Tuchel’s side this season.
