Spanish coach Javi Hernandez, head coach of FC Barcelona, spoke about Manchester City’s exciting decision at the Mercato last winter.
It is worth noting that the Catalan club under the leadership of Javi Hernandez managed to win the Spanish championship in 2023.
In January last year, Barca tried to sign Brazilian defender Joao Cancela, but failed to get his services, and the player moved to Bayern Munich.

In this regard, Javi Hernandez said in statements to the TV3 program: “We wanted to include Cancela in January, and it was offered to us, and we agreed.”
And he continued: “In the end we were told that Manchester City did not want him to move to Barcelona, it’s true.”
At the time, Cancelo went on loan to Bayern Munich, Barça’s nemesis in the Champions League.
Reports indicated that the player would be leaving the German club due to his refusal to buy the player.
Some press reports suggested that Cancelo would be the focus of Barcelona’s attention in the summer of 2023 to support the team’s right-wing stance.
And Sky Sport newspaper pointed out that Cancelo had several options, including Barcelona, where they had a communication, but the club could not push for a deal due to financial conditions.
And the Spanish newspaper Sport also confirmed that the player will not continue with either Bayern Munich or Manchester City due to bad relations with Pep Guardiola.
And she stressed that the player is ready to fight for the transition to Barcelona in the coming period.
