Pep Guardiola offers fresh Joao Cancelo update after Barcelona loan

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has offered an update on Joao Cancelo’s future ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.

Cancelo is back with the Cityzens after a season on loan with Barcelona. The Portugal international is eager to stay at Barca but a deal has not yet been done.

Guardiola has been asked about Cancelo at a news conference and is not ruling out the possibility of the full-back staying at the club this season.

“João Cancelo to re-join our squad? It can happen, yes,” he told reporters.
