Barcelona could emerge as shock contenders for the permanent signature of Joao Cancelo this summer if Manchester City decide to sell him, according to reports in Spain.
City sanctioned a somewhat surprising loan move for Cancelo in January, with the Portuguese full-back joining Bayern Munich on loan for the rest of the season. That deal did include an option for the Bundesliga outfit to make it permanent for around £62million, but recent reports suggest they will not be doing so.
Should Pep Guardiola sanction a permanent sale of the defender, then there will no shortage of potential suitors for a two-time Premier League Team of the Year inclusion. And according to Spanish outlet Sport Barcelona may explore an approach.
