Cancelo on verge of Barcelona return: deal closing soon

João Cancelo's move back to Barcelona is entering its final stretch. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese fullback is progressing in negotiations to terminate his Al Hilal deal, with the Catalan club primed to seal his return.

As we reported earlier, Cancelo had already teased his imminent comeback to the blaugrana on social media. Now the momentum has accelerated: talks with the Saudi side are moving fast and everything points to the agreement being wrapped up in the coming days.

The champion returns

Cancelo would rejoin a Barcelona side that saw him perform at his best in previous stints. His arrival would bolster the team's defensive flank for the remainder of the season, addressing one of the squad's weak points during this campaign.

This marks the third chapter in the saga between the Portuguese defender and the club, with the finish line expected within days if negotiations with the Saudi outfit maintain their current pace.
