Another ex-Barcelona star responds to João  Cancelo’s return

Former Barcelona star João Félix has taken to social media, to make known his approval of compatriot João Cancelo’s move back to Catalunya’s capital.

Defender Cancelo has of course dominated the headlines across Spanish football on Monday evening.

This comes after market expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that a deal has been put in place between Barcelona and Al-Hilal for the 31-year-old to rejoin the former.

Cancelo is primed to link up with Hansi Flick’s squad on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

And as alluded to above, amongst the first to make his approval of the transfer known online was another ex-Blaugrana star.

João Félix joined namesake Cancelo on a season-long loan at Barca back in the 2023/24 campaign.

And upon coming across the news of his fellow countryman’s reunion with the reigning Spanish champions, frontman Félix, now of Al-Nassr, responded with a simple ‘like’ on Instagram:
