Barcelona wants to sign Cancelo! Flicken points to strengthen the defense line

After Barcelona basically finalized a few young players and attackers like Nico Williams, we see that they are now shifting the focus of the signing to the back line. Experienced Portuguese full-back João Cancelo became their next major target. The signing of

is obviously the wish of new coach Hans Flick. Last season, Barcelona suffered from injuries and player fatigue at the full-back position. Flick hopes to introduce an experienced player to increase the stability of the defense line, and Cancelo is the most perfect candidate in his eyes.

Let's analyze why Flick values ​​Cancelo so much. First of all, Cancelo has played for Barcelona on loan before, and is very familiar with the team and has left a good impression. Secondly, he is very comprehensive, can play on both left and right full-backs, and has excellent offense and defense, which is very suitable for Flick's flexible and changeable tactical system. Finally, it is also a very important point. Cancelo himself has publicly expressed his love for Barcelona before and the players have the willingness to return, which can make the negotiations smoother.

According to reports, the Saudi Al-Hilal club where Barcelona and Cancelo are now located have begun preliminary negotiations. Barcelona is considering a offer of nearly 15 million euros. This price is more reasonable for a 31-year-old player.

But whether this transaction can be completed in the end depends on whether the other operations of Barcelona are smooth. Especially after the big expenses of introducing Nico Williams were finalized and the sale of some players was completed, the club could determine how much money could be used for Cancelo's transfer. This is a chain reaction.

Overall, after signing young people like Garcia and Balgi, and the soon-to-be finalized Williams, if we can still introduce a veteran like Cancelo, who is urgently needed by Flick, then Barcelona's recruitment work throughout the summer will be very complete and strategic.
