According to reports from La Stampa newspaper, there have been discussions about Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo potentially making a return to Serie A with either Juventus or Inter. It seems that Pep Guardiola is not keen on keeping the Portuguese player at the club, which has led to his agent, Jorge Mendes, offering him to his former clubs.
Cancelo had previously played for Inter during the 2018-2019 season before making a move to Juventus. His time at Manchester City began in 2019 as part of a swap deal involving Danilo. However, it appears that he may be on the move again, with a reported asking price of around €25 million.
In order to facilitate his return to Serie A and potentially play in the Champions League next season, Cancelo is said to be open to lowering his salary. This could be an attractive proposition for both Juventus and Inter, who are familiar with his abilities on the field.
Despite his ups and downs at Manchester City, Cancelo has shown his potential during his loan spells at Bayern Munich and Barcelona over the past year and a half. At 30 years old, he still has a few good years of football ahead of him and could be a valuable addition to either Juventus or Inter’s squad.
Cancelo’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in June 2027, giving him some security in terms of his future. With 51 games played in Serie A, two goals, and six assists to his name, he has already proven himself in the league and could be a strong asset for any team looking to strengthen their defense.
It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds in the coming weeks and whether Cancelo will indeed make a return to Italy. His experience in Serie A could be a valuable asset for either Juventus or Inter, and fans will be eager to see where he ends up next season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
