Xavi Hernández is set to get his number one target for the right-back position at Barcelona as the Catalan club is very close to full agreement with Manchester City for João Cancelo, according to the always reliable Matteo Moretto of Relevo.
The two clubs are advancing to the final details of a one-year loan deal with a buy option for next summer, and an official announcement is expected for the next few days. Cancelo was Barça’s top target for the full-back spot, and the sale of Franck Kessie and Ousmane Dembélé provided enough funds and salary cap space to go after the Portugal international.
