Joao Cancelo has impressed so far, since joining Barcelona from Manchester City on a season-long loan deal.

Barcelona are expected to keep the Portuguese international permanently, after his loan spell expires.

Reports by Sport, claims that Barcelona have lined up Juan Foyth as their plan B if they fail to sign Joao Cancelo on a permanent basis in 2024.

Barcelona have a buy-out clause inserted in Cancelo’s deal, but the club has made a plan B amid financial struggles.

Barcelona have been eyeing Villarreal right-back Foyth for some time now, and have longstanding interest in the Argentine.

Barcelona would have to pay a fee of around €25m to sign Cancelo permanently next year, but Foyth could cost twice as much as the Portuguese.
