Joao Cancelo is determined to remain at Barcelona beyond this season and has firmly rejected the possibility of playing for any other team.
In January 2023, the Portuguese full-back was released from Manchester City due to his negative response to losing his position under Pep Guardiola’s preference. Afterward, he remained with Bayern Munich for the remainder of the campaign, when he achieved victory in the Bundesliga. Subsequently, he was loaned to Barcelona for the ongoing campaign.
Barcelona does not have the option to purchase Cancelo in the summer, unlike Bayern, who chose not to exercise their option, as he is now under contract with City until 2027. Cancelo has made a total of 31 appearances for Barcelona this season, performing in the positions of both right-back and left-back. During these matches, he has scored three goals and provided four assists.
In a recent statement, Cancelo expressed his desire to remain at his current location and expressed no interest in relocating elsewhere. “I am currently unaware of any information regarding the future, but I have a desire to remain in this location,” he expressed. “During my childhood, I regularly watched Ronaldinho’s performances with Barcelona.” He is my role model. I take great pride in wearing this jersey, and there are no other clubs available for me to join, correct?
