“We want both to continue, we already know, whether it is a loan with a purchase price or with the same conditions that we have now” , he began.
“The cases are quite similar, but Cancelo’s situation is more advanced in terms of price; With João Félix we haven’t defined the price yet and we’re still waiting. We want it to continue, it has an exceptional class, and Cancelo has become a starter” , said the president.
He commented in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, that the offer for Cancelo was in the hands of the athlete’s manager. However, the negotiations require the approval of Manchester City, which holds the player’s economic rights.
