Arsenal encouraged as Barcelona struggle to reach Cancelo price

Barcelona are pushing Manchester City to extend the loan of Joao Cancelo.

The Portugal wing-back is on-loan to the end of the season, with City prepared to sell this summer.

But Marca says City's asking price of €25-30m is deemed too rich by Barca. The Catalans do not have the funds to buy Cancelo outright.

Instead, they will seek to extend the loan for a second season.

Watching developments are Arsenal, which have the spending power to meet City's asking price.
