Barcelona is aiming to complete several major signings to strengthen their squad and aim for success both in Europe and globally.<\/p>\n
One key area the club wants to reinforce is the right-back position, which would allow Jules Kound\u00e9 to return to his preferred role as a central defender.<\/p>\n
Cancelo\u2019s contract with Al-Hilal runs until June 2027, following his transfer from Manchester City last summer for \u20ac25 million.<\/p>\n
However, the player is reportedly keen on a return to Europe, with Barcelona emerging as a potential destination.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese right-back previously spent a season on loan at Barcelona from Manchester City, but his high salary at Al-Hilal had initially made a move to the Catalan club difficult.In a past interview, Cancelo revealed that although Real Madrid\u2019s Pepe had hoped he would join them, he has always been a Barcelona fan and knew exactly where he wanted to play.<\/p>\n
At 30 years old, Cancelo believes he is still capable of competing at the highest level in Europe, particularly with Barcelona, after impressive performances with both Al-Hilal and the Portuguese national team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
