‘He’s our player’ - Pep Guardiola offers update on Barcelona loanee Joao Cancelo’s future

Pep Guardiola has offered an update on Joao Cancelo’s future after the defender’s season-long loan with Barcelona.

Cancelo is keen to stay at Barcelona, and Joan Laporta has said the club want him to continue, but it remains to be seen if he will be at the club for next season.

Guardiola has been asked about the situation and says City will hold talks with Barcelona but if an agreement can’t be reached he will have to head back to Manchester.

“It has to be the best for everyone,” he told reporters.
