Cancelo: 'Anything can happen in football' amid Barca future talk

Joao Cancelo, on loan at Barcelona from Al-Hilal, has offered no definitive statement regarding his future beyond the current season. While Barcelona lacks an option to make his move permanent, the Portuguese defender is reportedly open to staying, though his parent club Al-Hilal is seeking a €15 million fee. Cancelo stated, "My future isn't relevant right now," emphasizing his commitment to helping Barcelona succeed in their current competitions.

Discussing tactical differences, Cancelo described Hansi Flick's approach as dynamic, involving a high press and increased risk-taking, which he feels aligns with Barcelona's style. He noted Flick's influence in instilling aggression and intensity. Cancelo also lauded teammate Gavi, calling him "the soul of the team" and noting his positive impact on team morale and intensity.

Cancelo reflected on his current form, admitting he may not be at 100% but is working towards it, aiming to assist the team's objectives. He acknowledged the initial doubts surrounding his return but pointed to his current presence as a testament to his resilience. He concluded by stating, "There are always options. Football can change in a moment," leaving the door open for future possibilities.
