Joao Cancelo Keen on Return to Barcelona
Joao Cancelo, currently at Al Hilal, has expressed his desire to return to Barcelona, despite the club's focus on younger options.
Joao Cancelo, the Portuguese right-back now playing for Al Hilal, has conveyed his strong desire to rejoin Barcelona, even stating he would do anything to make the transfer happen. Reports suggest Cancelo has communicated this intent directly to several Barcelona players.
Despite his efforts to stay with Barcelona earlier this season, financial constraints led to his departure to Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal. However, Barcelona’s search for a new right-back has reignited Cancelo's hopes of a return.
However, Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, is reportedly more inclined to pursue a younger and more affordable option. This stance makes Cancelo's potential return unlikely, despite his repeated declarations of affection for the Catalan club. Cancelo has previously stated, "Wearing the Barcelona shirt, even for just one season, was an honor."
