Cancelo also revealed how firm he was during the negotiations, admitting that he even put pressure on his parent club. The Portuguese international explained that he trained separately for a week to force his exit and that his intentions were always clear to Barça's sporting management.
"I told Deco that either I came here or I would spend a year there without playing while collecting my salary," the player confessed. This determination was key to unlocking a complex deal that required a significant effort from all parties involved.
To make his move to Camp Nou a reality, the Portugal international confirmed that he accepted a financial adjustment to his contract terms. "I've given up part of my salary, but it was Barça or nothing," he said bluntly.
