Barcelona are reportedly determined to sign Joao Cancelo permanently from Manchester City next year.<\/p>\n
The Spanish champions pipped Bayern Munich to secure the Portuguese full-back for the season on deadline day back in September.<\/p>\n
It came after Bayern opted against signing Cancelo, 29, permanently for \u00a361.6million in order to prioritise funds for other signings such as Harry Kane.<\/p>\n
But their loss has definitely been Barcelona’s gain with Cancelo quickly becoming an important figure in Xavi’s team as first-choice right-back.<\/p>\n
According to Football Espana, Barcelona are already working out a proposal for City, who want around \u00a344m for Cancelo, with \u00a322m up front and the balance spread over three years.<\/p>\n

Diario Sport reported on Friday that Barcelona would rather go for another loan deal next season, but City would only accept that if it included an obligatory \u00a330m purchase clause.<\/p>\n
Much could depend on Cancelo’s feelings at the end of the campaign as to whether Barcelona pursue the deal and whether any other offers come in.<\/p>\n
Cancelo has scored twice and claimed one assist in 14 appearances for Barcelona in LaLiga and the Champions League so far.<\/p>\n
They currently sit third in the league table, four points behind surprise leaders Girona and two points behind rivals Real Madrid in second.<\/p>\n
Xavi’s side have won three and lost one of their opening four Champions League group matches to sit top ahead of Porto on head-to-head record.<\/p>\n
Barcelona resume their campaign after the internationals with a league visit to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday followed by a home Champions League game with Porto on Tuesday November 28.<\/p>\n
