Manchester Metropolis loanee Joao Cancelo has opened up about his future, admitting that he would like to proceed at Barcelona past the present season.
The defender moved from the Etihad on mortgage to hitch the LaLiga giants and now he has expressed his want to proceed on the Camp Nou.
Chatting with Italian outlet, Gazzetta dello Sport, Cancelo mentioned, “I used to be fortunate sufficient to play for less than large groups. I’m pleased with my profession as a result of no one has ever gifted me something. I’ve conquered all the pieces with sacrifice.
“I do know nothing but [about the future], however I’d like to remain right here. I grew up watching Ronaldinho’s Barcelona. He’s my idol. I’m proud to put on this jersey, and there aren’t different golf equipment I can be a part of, proper?”
Spanish outlet SPORT had reported that the Residents are prone to demand a switch price of round £25 million for his providers and completely promote Cancelo in the summertime – however the newest experiences state a deal might be achieved within the area of £13 million.
Cancelo, who’s valued by TransferMarkt at £34m, has his take care of Manchester Metropolis till 2027 and he is because of arrive again in Manchester in the summertime following his mortgage in Barcelona.

FourFourTwo opinion
For me, Cancelo stays nonetheless the most effective fullbacks taking part in right this moment. The explanations for his Manchester Metropolis exit seem like a rift with Pep Guardiola.
I’m certain he’s completely having fun with his time in Spain, however I’m wondering if issues may change if a membership from the Saudi Professional League are available in and try and rival Barca for his signature.
They may undoubtedly be capable to provide a larger pay packet than the cash-strapped Catalans, whereas Xavi’s exit in the summertime might even see Cancelo transfer elsewher, no matter his phrases now.
