"While Barça are not entirely out of the woods yet, as far as their Financial Fair Play situation is concerned, Cancelo's signing and registration have been facilitated by the long-term injury of Andreas Christensen. Indeed, La Liga's medical commission has accepted the defender's long-term injury status, as he is out of action for at least four months due to a partial ACL tear, allowing Barcelona to use 80% of his salary to sign and register an emergency replacement - Cancelo in this case."
"The Portuguese full-back previously spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Barcelona and was intent on returning to the club, which made his comeback possible in the ongoing transfer window, despite strong interest from Inter Milan. Now, the former Manchester City defender's registration has been completed without any hitch, as confirmed by the update on the La Liga official website."
Joao Cancelo has been registered in Barcelona's La Liga squad after joining on loan from Al Hilal until the end of the season with no purchase option. La Liga's medical commission accepted Andreas Christensen's long-term injury status after a partial ACL tear, allowing Barcelona to allocate 80% of Christensen's salary to sign an emergency replacement. Cancelo previously spent 2023/24 on loan at Barcelona and returned despite Inter Milan interest. The registration was completed without issue on the La Liga website. Cancelo is in the squad for the Copa del Rey tie against Racing Santander and will wear the No. 2 shirt.
