Joao Cancelo is expected to be sold by Manchester City prior to the summer transfer window closing, according to Caught Offside.
The Portugal international, who played well in Germany at the EUROs until France defeated them in the quarterfinals, is now expected to make a comeback to the Etihad after spending the previous season on loan at Barcelona.
Nevertheless, Barcelona is unlikely to be able to acquire the 30-year-old permanently, even though he performed to a very high degree at the Nou Camp.

As a result, Cancelo’s future is unknown. However, the full-back has choices, even if it is doubtful that Pep Guardiola will restore him after the two had a public falling out.
Serie A pair the former Bayern Munich defender is keen to leave Manchester and both Juventus and Inter Milan are keen to provide him a way out, with the former having already worked with him during his early career in Turin.
The Cityzens seem eager to get rid of the wanted defender, even if he still has three years remaining on his contract.
As a result, they have set a reasonable price tag of £21 million (€25 million), which will increase the likelihood that Inter Milan and Juventus can come to an agreement.
Cancelo, who has won three Premier League crowns and seven major trophies with City’s first squad, has personally assisted on 30 goals in 154 appearances across all competitions.
