Arsenal has joined the contract race with one of the deals that Barcelona plans to sign permanently next summer.
\nThe London club is seeking to strengthen its ranks with several strong deals in order to continue competing for titles next season.<\/p>\n
Portuguese Joao Cancelo plays with Barcelona on loan until the end of the season, coming from Manchester City.
\nBarca may face financial restrictions in converting Cancelo’s loan into a final purchase, if City insists on asking a high price for the deal.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Cancelo is considered the deal to have the greatest influence in Barcelona since last summer, so Barca wants to keep him permanently.
\nShe pointed out that the tense relationship between Cancelo and his former coach, Pep Guardiola, makes it difficult for the player to return to Manchester City again.<\/p>\n
It was revealed that Arsenal is planning to aggressively compete with Barcelona for the Cancelo deal in the summer, at the request of its Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, who has great admiration for the Portuguese full-back.
\nCancelo will represent a solution to more than one problem at Arsenal, because he is good at playing in the right and left back positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
