Barcelona Weigh January Move for João Cancelo After Initial Enquiry
Andreas Christensen’s long-term injury has left Barcelona weighing a right-back versus a centre-back.
Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona spoke with agent Jorge Mendes and João Cancelo is aware of their enquiry.
- Club officials are discussing their January priority and there is no bid or agreement in place at this stage.
- Inter Milan have contacted Cancelo’s camp in the past 24 hours, with Juventus also reported to be interested.
