João Cancelo offered to Inter Milan and Juventus

João Cancelo offered to Inter Milan and Juventus

Inter Milan and Juventus have been offered the services of Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo following interest from Barcelona.

According to La Stampa via Sportmediaset, Joao Cancelo is reportedly interested in a return to Italy, with his agent Jorge Mendes reportedly offering his services to his former clubs Inter Milan and Juventus. While he may be back at Manchester City after his loan spell at Barcelona, ​​he has no future under Pep Guardiola, and an exit seems almost certain.

Cancelo was an integral part of Manchester City’s first team. But a falling out with the Spanish manager has forced him to spend the last 18 months on loan. He had a short stint at Bayern Munich before joining Barcelona for the 2023/24 season.

Barcelona wants to sign Cancelo permanently

While the Catalans haven’t exactly had the best of seasons, Cancelo has been one of their most consistent players, contributing nine goals (four goals, five assists) in 42 appearances. The Portugal international has played on both flanks and has been a constant under Xavi.

He is back at his original club, but it is unlikely that they will bring him into their first team. While Cancelo has three years left on his contract with Manchester City, his agent Jorge Mendes is busy finding him a new club.

Barcelona are keen to strengthen their full-back department for next season and are keen to sign him on a permanent basis. Although they have reached a personal agreement with the player, striking a deal with Manchester City, who are looking for €25 million, will be a difficult task given their financial situation.

Jorge Mendes offers Joao Cancelo to Inter Milan and Juventus

Cancelo could well be making a return to Italy. The 30-year-old was part of Inter Milan’s squad during the 2017/18 season. He spent the following season at Juventus before joining Manchester City in 2019. He now has the chance to return to Serie A as his agent has been knocking on the doors of his former clubs.

Inter Milan and Juventus are both keen on signing a new full-back, and Mendes wants to know if there is a possibility of a potential reunion. Cancelo could be a great addition to both teams as he can play both as a wing-back and as a full-back on either flank.

However, Manchester City’s asking price could make it difficult for Italian clubs to consider a loan with an option to buy. Although his salary is also quite high, the player is willing to lower his demands in order to play in the UEFA Champions League.
