Arsenal are ready to move for Manchester City's Joao Cancelo If Barcelona fail to sign the player on a long-term contract.

The full-back has a deal with City that expires in June 2027, but it appears that he will not be playing under Pep Guardiola later on.

The Portuguese star hopes to join Barca permanently, and Man City are open to let him leave this summer.

However, Barcelona's financial troubles may prevent them from paying the £40 million asking price that City are demanding for their player, as per The Sun.

The Spanish giants are reportedly unwilling to pay anything more than a loan fee for the 29-year-old.
