"It's my dream," João Cancelo said after ending his Al-Hilal contract and signing a three-year deal with Barcelona. The 32-year-old Portugal defender returns to Catalonia on a permanent basis for the first time, after years spent moving from one loan to the next, and he already has 23 appearances there in a title-winning La Liga season. The dream has come true. In Hansi Flick's rebuilt squad, where Rodri was registered only recently, an experienced defender tightens the back line further. For Barcelona, this is not simply another name added to the list: it is the return of a loyal figure ready to give everything for the club.
