With the summer transfer window set to close soon, FC Barcelona continue to work towards advancing their various operations and ensuring that their completion and conclusion take place before the end of August in order to provide Xavi Hernandez with the strongest possible squad at his disposal.
Primarily, Barcelona have been exploring various right-back options to assess which operation could be feasible for the Catalan giants to acquire a top-level right-back, as that remains a priority request from Xavi himself in terms of transfer targets.
Among them, the most attractive option for Barcelona was the option of 29-year-old Manchester City and Portuguese National team right-back Joao Cancelo, for whom Blaugranes have been in constant talks for with Manchester City.
In the latest update, ever-reliable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided information suggesting positive developments in the Joao Cancelo operation for Barcelona.
According to the journalist, Cancelo’s arrival to FC Barcelona is very advanced and at this point is undoubtedly going to happen with him arriving in Spain to don the Blaugrana colors for the upcoming season.
Moreover, it appears negotiations have managed to favor the Catalans given their demands of a purchase option that is optional rather than mandatory, and it seems that will be the case according to Fabrizio Romano.
With the ongoing week reported to have been crucial for Barcelona to finalize the Cancelo operation, it seems things are now being sorted and pieces are falling into place, with reliable sources suggesting that Cancelo will soon be a FC Barcelona player without a doubt.
