Sports News] According to reports from Spanish media, Joao Cancelo willingly
forfeited a salary of €2 million in order to join Barcelona on loan. It is said
that Cancelo’s dream has always been to play for Barcelona, and he was willing
to make financial sacrifices to make that happen. Prior to the closure of the
summer transfer window last year, Barcelona faced salary cap constraints, which
led to several players leaving the team to create space for signings such as
João Félix and Cancelo. However, on the final day of the transfer window,
Barcelona still lacked sufficient salary space to secure the signings of these
two Portuguese players. It was then that Cancelo made a decision: he chose to
forego a salary of €2 million without any guarantee that Barcelona would
ultimately sign him. His intention is to remain at Barcelona, whether on loan
or through a permanent transfer. However, as of now, the deal has not been
finalized.
