João Cancelo close to renewing with Barcelona until 2028
According to Fabrizio Romano, FC Barcelona has expressed its desire to retain João Cancelo, while Nicolò Schira confirms that the player has agreed on personal terms for a contract extension until 2028.
The future of João Cancelo at FC Barcelona seems to be taking shape. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan club has already informed the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, of its intention to keep the right-back in its ranks. This marks a significant first step in the negotiations for the player's contract renewal.
Cancelo, 32 years old and of Portuguese nationality, plays as a right-back. His current contract with Barcelona expires on June 30, 2026, and his market value stands at €8 million. His continuity in the team would be a key reinforcement for Barcelona's defense, which is looking for stability in that position.
Meanwhile, Nicolò Schira has reported that the player has reached an agreement on personal terms to extend his contract until 2028, indicating a strong commitment between Cancelo and the club. However, Barcelona is still awaiting to resolve the situation with Al Hilal, who may be interested in the player.
In summary, there is a notable advance in the negotiations for Cancelo's renewal. Barcelona's interest is clear, and the player's willingness to stay has also been expressed, although some details with the Arab club still need to be defined.
