Joao Cancelo will be a Barcelona player, everything ready for his arrival – Romero

There is no shortage of drama and twists on the transfer deadline day and Barcelona find themselves involved in one such saga on the final day of the summer window.

Joao Cancelo of Manchester City appeared all set to sign for Barcelona but Financial Fair Play problems have caused major delays in the operation.

And, as per reports, Bayern Munich have made a late attempt to try and re-sign Cancelo on loan on the deadline day.

Cancelo will join Barcelona

But despite the late attempts from Bayern Munich, Cancelo will be joining Barcelona today, reports Gerard Romero.

The reporter went on to reveal that the Portuguese international is scheduled to arrive in Catalonia at around 6 pm later today, with everything ready and in order for his signing.

Indeed, Romero claims that Cancelo’s shirt has also been prepared by the Blaugrana and all things are in place to complete his signing in the next few hours.

The Portuguese international is understood to have received the green light from Man City to fly to Barcelona and complete the move.

Cancelo always wanted Barça

Despite the attempts from Bayern, Cancelo always wanted Barcelona, as reported by Toni Juanmarti on SPORT.

The 29-year-old has patiently waited for the move and even though there were enquiries made from Bayern’s end, the defender’s stance never wavered.

Ultimately, his will played a key role and now everything has been sealed, and the Portuguese international will arrive and complete the remaining formalities in the coming hours.

As for the FFP issues, the guarantees provided by the club’s board have been approved by La Liga which will enable Barcelona to sign and register Cancelo, as well as his compatriot Joao Felix.

As such, there is a lot of optimism within the club that the two Portuguese internationals the two Joaos, will be at Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
