Barcelona-bound Joao Cancelo receives last-minute offer from Champions League club

There is no shortage of drama when it comes to the transfer deadline day and Barcelona find themselves embroiled in what could be a frustrating saga involving Joao Cancelo.

The Manchester City outcast has everything agreed with the Catalans and has been waiting for a green light over the transfer, but Fair Play issues have meant that it has not arrived yet.

The personal guarantee set to be offered by the club’s board could unlock the situation, though, and as such Barcelona have sent a formal offer to Man City following which Cancelo is waiting for an OK from his parent club before travelling to Catalonia.

A last-minute offer for Cancelo

However, there could be a late twist in the tale as Adria Albets and Santi Ovalle are now reporting that Cancelo has now received a last-minute offer from a Champions League club.

It is further claimed by Santi Ovalle that the club in question could be Bayern Munich, who had Cancelo on loan from Manchester City during the second half of the last season.

The information has been corroborated by other journalists such as Toni Juanmarti as well.

This development could potentially throw a spanner in the works for Barcelona, who have spent the better part of the summer chasing the 29-year-old’s signing.

An agreement over personal terms with the defender has been in place for a while and it was reported earlier today that he is further willing to take a pay cut to join Barcelona.

As such, much will depend on the Fair Play situation and how quickly Barça are able to resolve it so that they can press ahead and seal Cancelo’s signing.

The Blaugrana must not leave it hanging until late, as it could allow someone else to swoop in, especially if the player’s camp starts having doubts.
