"Barcelona" is interested in permanently transferring defender Joao Cancelo, who is on loan from "Al-Hilal".
Idman.Biz reports that "Blaugrana" cannot afford the player's contract due to his high salary at the Saudi Arabian club.
"Barcelona's" plan is for the player to negotiate his departure from "Al-Hilal" and then join the Catalan club on a free transfer. A new loan transfer is not possible as the Portuguese player has one year left on his contract.
"Barcelona" announced the loan signing of Cancelo from "Al-Hilal" in January of this year. The player has made 12 appearances in all competitions for "Blaugrana", scoring one goal and providing three assists. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is 9 million euros.
