Barcelona have announced the signing of Joao Cancelo for a second time in two days, after some confusion on Tuesday. The Portuguese full-back will have a second spell at Barcelona 18 months after his exit from a first loan.
Cancelo’s signing was announced on Monday, having passed a medical in the Catalan capital, with the press called for his official presentation at 13:30 the following day. However the club then cancelled the press conference nearly 90 minutes later, and also deleted the announcement. The delay was allegedly down to Al-Hilal requesting some incomplete documentation.
