Barcelona Set No-Fee Condition for Joao Cancelo Signing

Overview

• Barcelona told Joao Cancelo's camp the deal only goes through if he secures a release or a token price from Al Hilal, with no significant fee paid.
• Al Hilal are seeking at least €10 million for the defender, a figure reported as beyond Barcelona's limit.
• Reports say Cancelo has agreed personal terms with Barcelona for a two-year contract, or one year with an option for another season.
• Agent Jorge Mendes is set to lead talks with Al Hilal in the coming weeks, with reporting that both sides want clarity before the World Cup.
• Since rejoining on loan in January, Cancelo has become Hansi Flick's first-choice left-back with 19 appearances, which explains Barcelona's push to keep him.
