SPORT claims that Manchester City will ask for a loan fee of €20 million from Joao Cancelo, a target for Barcelona. In a surprising move during the January transfer window, he signed a loan deal with Bayern Munich. The Citizens are supposed to request a charge of €70 million for Portugal global in the event that his exchange is to be made long-lasting.
The Blaugrana cannot make a summer move because of the transfer value. Consequently, Barca is looking into a loan deal for the fullback. However, in order to obtain Cancelo’s signature, they may still be required to pay a substantial fee.
The right-back has been on Barcelona’s radar for some time. They have also been linked to moves for Benjamin Pavard and Diogo Dalot, in addition to Cancelo. In recent times, Cancelo has been one of Manchester City’s most important players. In all competitions, he made 154 appearances for the Manchester-based club, scoring nine goals and providing 22 assists.
However, the player pursued a move elsewhere due to a lack of playing time in recent games, and Bayern acquired him on a short-term loan. He has scored one goal and provided four assists in eight appearances for the Bavarian team in competitions.
Erling Haaland, a star player for Manchester City, recently equaled Lionel Messi’s record :
In the UEFA Champions League Round of the 16-second leg, Manchester City hitman Erling Haaland scored five goals against RB Leipzig. Lionel Messi, a superstar for Paris Saint-Germain and former Barcelona, is the only other player to accomplish that.
John Stones, a City defender, predicted that the Norwegian would set additional records in the years to come. Stones stated to the media following the Leipzig match, according to the Evening Standard:
“Just from his hunger, his attitude, and his professionalism, I believe he really could do what he wants, and I’d love to see him do it. I think he just wants to win. I think that if you think that way, you’ll just let the personal accolades come to you without trying to get them.
“I think Erling is a huge team player, and with that kind of mindset, he’s going that way to break more records,” although “that could be completely wrong.”
Haaland has played 36 games for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team since his summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund. In that time, he has contributed five assists and scored 39 goals.
