Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo 'agrees personal terms with Barcelona' and is a 'priority target' for Xavi

Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has 'agreed personal terms' with Barcelona, according to reports.

Much uncertainty hangs over the 29-year-old's future at the Premier League champions, with Cancelo having spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayern Munich after falling out of favour with Pep Guardiola.

Mail Sport reported back in January that the Portugal international had been involved in a furious training ground bust-up with the Spanish manager, which sparked his shock exit from the club.

But it now appears that he could be set to depart the Etihad once again, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the right back, who's contract at Man City runs out in 2027 'has agreed personal terms with Barcelona and wants the move'.
