Joao Cancelo on Barcelona future – ‘We’ll see what happens, at the start, there were doubts’ Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo has avoided a declaration of his intentions on his future, amid talk that the Catalan side could try to retain him at the end of the season . The Portuguese veteran is on loan from Al-Hilal until the end of the season, and the Blaugrana do not have an option to make the move permanent. Cancelo was speaking ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Camp Nou.

The 31-year-old explained that the Blaugrana had to control Los Colchoneros, as they head into their fifth meeting of the season. “We expect the same from Atletico as we have in recent years. They are an aggressive team with talented players.

We have to control them, as we did in the last match, and go for the win. It’s a very important competition for us. ” Cancelo on Barcelona future – ‘There’s always options’ Barcelona were initially criticised for bringing back Cancelo for a second loan spell, after a shaky end to his first.

He was asked if he felt he was getting back to his best. “I don’t know if I’m at 100%. As the weeks go by and training continues, it’s normal for my talent to emerge.

What I’m trying to do is help the team achieve its goals. In the last match, we all played very well. I’m trying to help us get the win.
