Cancelo faces Man City transfer uncertainty with Barca manager decision imminent

Joao Cancelo , currently on loan at Barcelona from Manchester City, seems likely to face an uncertain future heading into the summer transfer window given the Spanish club's tumultuous appointment of a new manager.

As only a season-long stay, Cancelo would then be in line to return to his parent club, where he still has another three years on his contract. As this appears unlikely given what has happened, exit discussions would need to take place yet again. Spanish publication SPORT claim that with it now confirmed Xavi will not continue at Barca's helm, his expected replacement Hansi Flick is not a fan of Cancelo. The German does not believe he possesses the correct the defensive capabilities to function as part of his system, therefore would rather seek out alternatives in the transfer market.

This is a stark change to the stance just two weeks ago. Xavi had announced his decision to leave his post earlier in the year, but had since been convinced to stay by the board. With trust between the two strong, continuity had practically assured a second loan for Cancelo, but now that avenue would close under Flick with Barca to make the managerial change once the season is complete.
