The Blaugrana will contribute five million towards the Portuguese international's wages, a sum made available by Andreas Christensen's long-term injury.
FC Barcelona has taken a decisive step towards securing their first signing of the winter transfer window. The 'Culers' have reached an agreement this Monday with Al-Hilal SFC for the return of João Cancelo, who is set to once again don the Blaugrana colours.
Barça will reportedly pay four million to Al-Hilal for the loan fee, alongside covering five million of the Portuguese international's wages. This particular sum has been made available due to Christensen's long-term injury, providing a much-needed, quality reinforcement for a significantly depleted position.
Cancelo's priority has consistently been the Blaugrana outfit, despite significant interest from Inter. The 'Nerazzurri' have now been removed from contention, despite having reached an agreement with the Saudi club last week. Consequently, the Portuguese is set to return to the Catalan capital.
