Speculation over the future of Joao Cancelo continues to grow 

Despite his desire to return to Barcelona, Joao Cancelo's future is still a subject of much speculation. The Portugal international is scheduled to embark on a post-Euro 2024 holiday early next month, so it is unlikely that he will decide on his next move before then. Cancelo has made it obvious that he wants to leave the Etihad Stadium, and he is scheduled to return to preseason training at Manchester City before the end of July.

Barcelona wants to reach an agreement with City, and City is willing to sell him, but they are hoping for another loan, which the Premier League winners are against. A stalemate about a return to Catalonia has sparked interest from other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Italy. Champions of Serie A Inter Milan are thinking about making a bid, but Cancelo's €10 million yearly wage and a €20–30 million transfer fee are a problem.
