Despite acknowledging that Cancelo is Xavi's absolute priority, Deco has asked to keep the door open for the 18-year-old footballer, who is a personal bet and who is considered capable of fighting for a position in Barça's starting eleven. From this area it is convinced that he will be one of the most important footballers in Europe in the future.
In the case of Fresneda, there is an agreement with the player, but not with his club, Valladolid. Despite the fact that they are lower figures than those handled by Cancelo, the first offer of eight million fixed and ten in variables, plus the transfer of Estanis Pedrola, has not been fruitful, since the entities from Pucelana want a fixed 10 'kilos' and a series of clauses that allow reaching 20.
The only danger is that Fresneda prioritizes coming to Barça, but as of August 10 he could listen to other offers, which there are, because he wants to have it resolved before the start of the League.

With Kounde and Araujo to cover the position. We may want to take the long term option with half an eye on levelling the salary cap quicker, and not having these struggles to make cap season after season.
