Barcelona seeks to finalize Joao Cancelo transfer after Portugal's World Cup exit

Barcelona aims to complete a permanent transfer for Joao Cancelo following Portugal's elimination from the World Cup after a loss to Spain in the last 16. The signing process is reportedly 'well advanced,' with Cancelo expected to sign a two-year contract costing around 10 million euros. Before the transfer is finalized, Cancelo must resolve some tax issues related to his previous club, Al-Hilal. His successful loan stint at Barcelona last season indicated his desire to remain with the club.
