#2 Juventus will use funds from Cancelo sale in de Ligt transfer

Portugal v Netherlands - UEFA Nations League Final

The Joao Cancelo saga has been continuing for quite some time now and latest reports suggest that Manchester City are very close to sealing a deal for the Portuguese. It was previously rumoured that Cancelo would be used to sweeten a deal for Paul Pogba, as United had named a sky high price for the services of the Frenchman. But latest developments had indicated that the Juventus right back might be moving to Manchester City instead.

A deal between the two clubs is pending, because Juventus are holding out for €60m, while City are only willing to pay €50m. And now it has been revealed that Juventus are desperate to get an amount closer to their estimated evaluation of the player, because the Serie A Champions want to use that money to fun the transfer of Matthijs de Ligt. A deal between the Dutchman and PSG has not completed yet and as such, Juventus are still hopeful of sealing the deal of their own.
