Joao Cancelo will not sign for Barcelona in January but it looks increasingly likely he will join in the summer. Barcelona are calm because the player is not on the market now. The idea Valencia have is renewing his deal and letting him go in the summer if there is an interesting offer. His price will not be less than 30 million euros.

Barcelona are not in a position to sign him in January, while the player is grateful for the opportunity Valencia have given him and does not want to leave via the back door in a moment of crisis. He wants to stay and help the team until the end of the season.

Valencia are grateful for Cancelo's plan and Barcelona are too. Los Che will improve his deal, which is one of the lowest in the squad, but will not change his mininum release fee clause which is 50m euros. Barcelona have been informed by Cancelo's agent Jorge Mendes to everything that is happening.
