The words of the German specialist are quoted by Marca:
“Joao will strengthen our flanks and attack line, but the deal is not closed yet. When everything is done, I will be happy because it will give us more options. It is a good option with high quality,” said Flick.
It will be recalled that Cancelo already defended the colors of Barcelona in the 2023/24 season, playing for the club on loan from Manchester City. After that, the Portuguese moved to Al Hilal.
In the current season, Joao Cancelo played 6 matches for the Saudi club in all competitions and scored one goal.
