Manchester City in talks to sign Joao Cancelo from Juventus
Pep Guardiola never compromises on full-backs. According to reports, Manchester City have reopened discussions to sign Juventus right-back Joao Cancelo. Pep Guardiola had made signing Cancelo a priority earlier, however, Juventus and City couldn't reach an agreement.
As per the report, Juventus want £55 million for Cancelo. Manchester City were earlier ready to include Danilo in the deal. The clubs are now going back to the table to negotiate a deal after the Old Lady took a while to warm up to the prospect of the deal being a cash + player swap.
Cancelo joined Juventus only last summer. His previous campaign had been on loan with Inter Milan where he impressed with his running and defensive acumen. Guardiola already has a pacy right-back in Kyle Walker. However, a player of Cancelo's quality needs to be added to the lineup as they look forward to challenging on all fronts once again next season.
