According to Sport, Cancelo has informed Manchester City that if he cannot join Barcelona this summer, he would rather stay at Man City and see out his contract, even if it means not being a regular in the first-team rotation.
The report states that Barcelona are very keen to keep Cancelo, and the player himself is eager to make a permanent move to Barcelona. However, Barcelona’s current financial situation makes it difficult for them to meet Manchester City’s demands.
