Joao Cancelo is now just 11/10 to join Barcelona this summer with reports that a deal could happen
Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo is now to 11/10 to join Barcelona this summer with bookies offering odds on the transfer market.
Cancelo was sent out on loan in the second half of last season after reports of a falling out with manager Pep Guardiola and it looks like there will be no return for the player.
Guardiola's former club are interested in signing Cancelo this summer according to recent reports from talkSPORT which say Xavi and Barcelona are looking at the player.
Barcelona are set to sell Ousmane Dembele to PSG this summer and they will likely use the funds made from that transfer to sign Joao Cancelo.
The latest odds from Paddy Power suggest that there is a 47% chance that Cancelo moves to Barcelona at some point in the next month.
| Joao Cancelo Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Barcelona | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| Arsenal | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Any Saudi Club | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Bayern Munich | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Real Madrid | 15/2 | 11.8% |
What the expert says...
Arsenal are second favourites and have been linked with Cancelo before
Arsenal are 3/1 to sign Joao Cancelo this summer and it's a move that has been linked in the past, but Guardiola may not want to strengthen one of their rivals again.
City sold Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to the Gunners last season and in doing so helped their title challenge and they won't want to do so this season.
Reports from footballtransfers back in June said that talks were progressing between Arsenal and City for Cancelo but that has since cooled.

Current club Manchester City are odds-on to win the Premier League this season
Joao Cancelo may be leaving Man City this summer but they'll be hoping for a repeat of last season with Cancelo's departure seeing them kick on in the league.
City ended up overtaking Arsenal in the title race and winning the division in the end for the third season in a row and will be looking to go again this year.
Pep Guardiola's men are odds-on to win the league this season at 8/11 and it's their title rivals from last season in Arsenal that are second favourites to win it this year.
| Premier League Winner 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Arsenal | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Liverpool | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Man Utd | 11/1 | 8.3% |
| Chelsea | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Newcastle | 14/1 | 6.7% |
