Joao Cancelo is eager to remain with Barcelona beyond this season and has made it clear that he does not want to play for any other team. The Portuguese defender was released from Manchester City in January 2023 due to his negative reaction to losing his spot in the starting lineup under Pep Guardiola. After winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, he was loaned to Barcelona for the current season. Barcelona cannot buy Cancelo in the summer as Bayern had the option to do but chose not to exercise it. Cancelo is under contract with City until 2027. Cancelo has appeared in 31 matches for Barcelona this season, playing in both right-back and left-back positions, and has scored three goals and provided four assists. Additionally, I observed a contrast in the actions of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp at full time, which emphasized a point about Anfield. Doku’s response to the penalty and Ederson’s potential injury suggest a lot about the atmosphere at Manchester City after the draw with Liverpool. This week, Cancelo expressed his desire to remain in his current location and has no interest in relocating elsewhere. He expressed that he does not currently have any information about the future, but he wishes to remain in the present location. I was raised watching Barcelona with Ronaldinho. He’s my idol.
