Joao Cancelo has been a long-standing target for Arsenal as they seek to attract more players from Manchester City.
Following the Gunners’ observed improvement subsequent to the signings of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus from City, multiple reports suggested that City had decided against selling any more players to Arsenal.
City now view Arsenal as rivals, making it risky for them to facilitate transfers to a fellow title contender.
Despite these dynamics, Arsenal remains keen on acquiring Cancelo, who has spent much of the last two seasons away from City.
Currently on loan at Barcelona, Cancelo’s future at City appears uncertain, prompting Arsenal’s interest in securing his signature.
However, a report from Sport indicates that Cancelo is not inclined towards a move and prefers to continue playing for Barcelona.
This development has stalled negotiations between City and Arsenal, leaving Barcelona to explore options to incorporate Cancelo into their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Cancelo is one of the finest full-backs around and continues to shine as he plays for Barca.
However, if he is unwilling to join us, then we have no reason to want to add him to our group too.
Several other players will jump at the chance to join us, and we should focus on signing those players instead.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
