Barcelona Aims to Keep João Cancelo Permanently

Hansi Flick has reportedly advocated for the permanent signing of João Cancelo, with Barcelona initiating talks with Al-Hilal for his acquisition.

The Portuguese international right-back returned to Barcelona on loan from Al-Hilal during the January transfer window and has seemingly earned the trust of Hansi Flick.

João Cancelo has cemented his place in Hansi Flick's plans, having already made 15 appearances, scoring one goal and providing four assists. The German coach is keen to retain him in the Blaugrana squad. According to reports, Barcelona has tabled an offer of 17 million euros to secure his permanent transfer.
