Barcelona's hopes of re-signing Joao Cancelo from Manchester City have been boosted by claims the full-back has rejected offers from elsewhere in an attempt to force through a return to Camp Nou. Cancelo spent last season on loan with Barca in a deal which did not include a purchase clause. Barca and City remain in talks over Cancelo's future. The Premier League champions have been forced to soften their stance to facilitate a summer exit for the full-back. City had been demanding a permanent transfer this summer but have now accepted that they may have to agree to another initial loan to send Cancelo back to Spain. A mandatory purchase clause was City's next demand but Barcelona have not yet shown a willingness to agree to such a term. Barca would rather include a purchase option but could be swayed into an obligation if it was tied to Cancelo's performances next season. Much will depend on Barca's ability to get back to La Liga's 1:1 spending rule. If Barca can reach that level, they are likely to shake hands on a deal which could value Cancelo at around €25m (£21.5m).
