Barcelona certain they will sign Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix on deadline day – report

Barcelona are bracing themselves for crucial hours ahead as the club look to complete the capture of top targets such as Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix.

The club submitted their official bid for Cancelo’s outright loan to Manchester City last night, which has seemingly been accepted.

They were also in talks with Atletico Madrid for Felix, with reports suggesting that an agreement is in place there as well.

Barcelona confident of signing Felix & Cancelo

Barcelona are yet to receive any green light from La Liga to complete the capture of Joao Felix or Joao Cancelo today.

However, as per Mundo Deportivo, the Catalans are confident of signing both Portuguese stars by the end of the day.

The report suggests Barcelona president Joan Laporta will present a guarantee to La Liga today, laying out an economic guarantee.

La Liga approve personal guarantees

Under current circumstances, Barcelona are not in a position to complete these signings. However, the club are expecting a fresh revenue of €20 million from Libero Football Finance.

Libero was expected to pay €20 million by Thursday, but the German fund has delayed the payment.

However, the two parties are still on good terms and have not terminated the agreement. Libero, though, has asked Barcelona a few more days before they can sanction the payment.

Barcelona, therefore, will activate a guarantee formula worth a little less than €20 million and the sanction of promissory notes, all assumed by the board and President Laporta. La Liga are understood to have validated and approved the economic guarantee.

Gerard Romero is further reporting that La Liga sources have confirmed to him that the two signings will take place.

Hence, it could only be a matter of time before Barcelona complete the capture of the two Portuguese internationals.
