Barcelona nearing deal to sign Joao Cancelo from Al Hilal imminently

Barcelona is expected to finalize the signing of Joao Cancelo from Al Hilal in the coming days. Although the club has strengthened its attacking options with Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, the defense remains a priority. Cancelo's move is anticipated to be settled around €10 million, as he trains alone after Al Hilal deemed him transferable. His versatility will bolster Barcelona's backline, competing primarily as a right-back while potentially impacting the status of current full-backs. The agreement is progressing well, with prior personal terms already established.
