Barca Eyes Cancelo: Fee Sticking Point?
25 Mar
Summary
- Barcelona wants Joao Cancelo permanently without a fee.
- Al Hilal demands at least €15m for Cancelo's transfer.
- Marc Casado's potential sale could facilitate the deal.

Barcelona has expressed a strong desire to secure Joao Cancelo on a permanent basis in the upcoming summer transfer window. Head coach Hansi Flick is reportedly pleased with the defender's contributions since his return in January.
The primary obstacle for Barcelona is Al Hilal's insistence on a transfer fee. The Saudi Pro League club is demanding a minimum of €15m, casting doubt on the feasibility of the deal under Barcelona's proposed no-fee condition.
However, a potential solution has emerged: Al Hilal's interest in Barcelona's Marc Casado. Casado is considered a prime candidate for sale due to a crowded midfield, and his transfer could potentially unlock the agreement for Cancelo.
The final decision rests with Casado himself. While content at Barcelona, he may seek more playing time elsewhere, with Premier League and La Liga clubs also monitoring his situation. A move to Europe might be preferred for his international ambitions.
