Portuguese right-back João Cancelo, who plays for Saudi club Al Hilal, is trying to reopen the possibility of returning to Barcelona during the current winter transfer window, expressing his desire to wear the Barça jersey again.

The Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed details about German coach Hans Flick's stance on the idea of bringing back Cancelo, confirming that the head coach is not enthusiastic about completing the deal at the moment.

Flick believes that the team's technical needs are leaning towards signing a central defender who is left-footed, considering the full-back position not an urgent priority in his current project.

Despite this technical rejection, Cancelo continues to push for leaving Al Hilal and returning to Camp Nou, which has led him to hesitate in finalizing his future over the past few weeks.

This comes despite the player having a serious offer from Italy's Inter Milan, but his desire to join Barcelona has led him to postpone making a final decision about his next destination.

According to the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport," the agent Jorge Mendes intervened directly, contacting Barcelona president Joan Laporta and exerting strong pressure to revive the deal and establish direct communication between both parties.
