The Spanish media has revealed the reason why "Barcelona" deleted the news about Joao Cancelo's loan from "Al-Hilal" from the club's social media and official website.
Idman.Biz reports that the club had previously announced the transfer of the Portuguese footballer and the player himself shared it with his followers. However, later both parties' posts disappeared.
According to journalist Alfredo Martinez on social media, the clubs are still exchanging documents - the agreement is not fully finalized. "Barcelona" admitted that they announced the transfer too early and therefore deleted the news.
Cancelo is 31 years old and has been playing for Al-Hilal since the summer of 2024. This season, the defender has played six games in all competitions for the club, scored one goal and provided two assists. Joao's current contract with the club runs until the end of June 2027. The influential internet portal Transfermarkt estimates the market value of the Portuguese footballer at 10 million euros. The footballer has played for "Barcelona" before.
