Joao Cancelo is said to be still eager to play for Barcelona despite moving to the Saudi Pro League in the summer.
The Portugal international spent last season on loan in Catalunya and had been hoping the club would make the move permanent but it wasn’t to be.
Diario Sport say that Cancelo is “still thinking” about Barca and “would like to return” to the club from Al-Hilal. In fact it’s even said he’s willing to “do anything” to come back to Barcelona.
Hansi Flick currently has Jules Kounde and Hector Fort as his right-back options but it’s reported that Barcelona aren’t thinking about re-signing Cancelo at all.
The report even states Cancelo returning is “mission impossible” as there’s no way the club could afford to bring him in.
Yet Barcelona have been linked with strengthening both full-back positions next season, although it remains to be seen if finances will allow.
