Catalan club Barcelona have officially confirmed news that will delight fans in the winter transfer window. Portugal international João Cancelo is once again a Blaugrana player! The club’s press service reported.
According to the official statement, Barça have signed Cancelo on loan from Saudi side Al Hilal until the end of the season. Notably, the player will wear the No. 2 shirt. That means more competition and higher quality on the right flank.
A familiar face, a new mission
Cancelo is no stranger to Catalan fans. He has already represented Barcelona and proved himself as a reliable performer. In the 2023/24 season, he played 42 matches in all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists.
These numbers are more than just stats: despite being a defender, Cancelo joins attacks aggressively, speeds up play, and has an eye for passes and crosses. Barça always need this kind of versatile player.
In short, Cancelo’s return is a ready-made solution for Barça: no time needed to adapt, he knows the squad and feels La Liga’s pace. Now fans are waiting for one thing: will João “like the camera” from the first match, or will he need a couple of games to get back into rhythm?
