The future of Joao Cancelo continues to be a hot topic. According to reports from Sportitalia, the Portuguese full-back is said to have had direct contact with Barcelona president Laporta to urge him to change the club’s transfer priorities. As confirmed by coach Flick, the Catalan club is currently looking for a central defender.
Inter already has a verbal agreement in place with Al Hilal, but the player’s wishes carry significant weight.
The response from the Nerazzurri is said to have been clear: to ask for Cancelo himself as part of the deal involving Acerbi and De Vrij. This move could unlock a complex negotiation, tying the Portuguese player’s fate to that of one of the two central defenders currently in Inter’s squad. The situation remains fluid, with Barcelona called upon to make a decision regarding their incoming transfers and Inter watching from afar.
