""Dumfries will be out for two more months and we are negotiating with João Cancelo. We need to find a solution at right-back," he said, according to Fabrizio Romano. "Cancelo has a huge salary, we are in negotiations to clarify the situation," he said. There's talk Inter could use Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij as part of any deal and Marotta added: "they want a new centre-back... we'll see.""
"The defender is thought to be eager to return to Barcelona, who aren't yet convinced about whether to make a move, while Inter are also said to be keen. Cancelo's salary is said to be a major reason why Barcelona may not end up going for the defender. The 31-year-old is thought to be desperate to return to Camp Nou but a move to Inter looks more likely right now."
João Cancelo wants to return to Barcelona but Barcelona remain unconvinced about pursuing a transfer largely because of his high wages. Inter Milan are interested and are negotiating after Denzel Dumfries suffered an injury that will sideline him for about two months. Inter president Beppe Marotta confirmed talks and identified Cancelo's salary as a key obstacle. Inter could include centre-backs such as Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij in any deal, and Marotta indicated the club seek a new centre-back. Cancelo, 31, remains eager for Camp Nou but a move to Inter currently appears more likely.
