Let’s not beat about the bush here... Barcelona need João Cancelo.
Do they need him for €60m next summer — the reported fee that Man City will demand as an obligation if they loan him to the Catalans for 2023/24? Hell, yes.
Just how long have Culers been saying how badly we need a natural attacking right-back to complement the rest of the back four?
Sergiño Dest, with respect, is never going to be the player that Barcç had hoped, and shoe-horning either Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araujo or Jules Kounde in there just won’t do.
Not since Prime Dani Alves in his pomp has there been a right-back of note at the club and that simply has to change.
