The Catalans will still have to enter talks with the Premier League champions as they cannot afford the Cityzen's asking price of €40 million (£34m/$43m) for the Portugal international. It is likely that the treble holders will agree to a reduced price or another loan deal with a mandatory buy clause in 2025.
Cancelo himself is very keen to stay with the defending La Liga champions past the summer and has also shown a lot of promise under Xavi this season, having scored four goals for the club as more of an inverted wing-back. He has appeared in 33 games for the Blaugrana.
Cancelo will be one of the first names of the teamsheet for Xavi when Barcelona take on Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes on April 10 for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals clash.
