Barcelona have reportedly made contact with their former fullback João Cancelo regarding a winter reunion after his impending Al Hilal exit became readily apparent.

Manager Xavi Hernández immediately installed him as Barcelona’s first-choice right back before switching him over to the left flank after the emergence of Pau Cubarsí through the middle allowed Jules Kounde to shift wider.
