Cancelo, Mendes offers him to Juve: the salary issue and the club's position

The Portuguese winger is out of Manchester City's plans, his agent is proposing a return that would be sensational. Here's what could happen

Among the players who will most likely change teams in this transfer window is also Joao Cancelo . With Portugal eliminated from Euro 2024, the full-back can think about the future since, in fact, he is separated at home with Manchester City . The player is at loggerheads with Guardiola and his agent Jorge Mendes is already working to place his client. For this reason he is reportedly looking at Serie A: specifically, Mendes has offered the winger to Inter and Juventus , where Cancelo only played the 2018-19 season (25 appearances, 1 goal).

Cancelo, the situation

Manchester City are currently asking for 25 million euros for the player, but the main thing that scares the Bianconeri is the Portuguese's salary. Last year Joao played on loan at Barcelona and earned 6 million. In any case, the player wants to play in the Champions League next season and likes Italy as a destination. Therefore, in the event of serious interest from the Bianconeri or the Nerazzurri, Joao could also consider reducing his salary in order to return to Serie A. The Old Lady is thinking about it, even if Cancelo's salary could represent an obstacle a priori to a possible reduction and be out of budget for the club's coffers.

Cancelo, the post Juve

In 2019, Joao left Juventus to join Manchester City, with Danilo doing the opposite to become the captain of the Bianconeri. The relationship with Guardiola has not always been the best, and a year and a half ago he left the Citizens on loan to join Bayern Munich. The Bavarians, after the end of the loan, decided not to redeem him and the following year Joao was loaned again, this time to Xavi 's Barcelona . With the Blaugrana, he was one of the team's key players, playing 42 games and scoring 4 goals and 5 assists. Now, the return to the City base and the desire to try a new adventure that could be in Italy again.
