I dont get this, I really like his technical qualities, useful to have.


Hope we are selling only because we want to sacrifice him budget wise for a big signing in midfield. If that's the case hope they already earmarked a quality technical RB who comes in bargain range.

Mods on VS claimed one of them personally overheard Allegri in a restaurant complain that Paratici doesn't like Cancelo (only bought him because he was a ticket to Mendes who brought us Ronaldo) and wants to sell him but fans insult him when he plays MDS in his place. Didn't believe it at the time, but now wouldn't be shocked if true

Inter couldn't afford to keep due to FFP, Valencia played more defensive RB and wanted to sell him for profit, he was too good to keep too since he wanted bigger club.



I'm gonna talk about personality problems only if we find tangible reports about it.

cancelo can play up and down the right flank potentially even left flank. i find it hard to imagine valencia were unable to find a role for him

If Pep wants him, he should come and train him!
It's highly unlikely that we will find a good replacement with that amount...

Inter wanted but didnt had the money. They wanted to keep Rafinha aswell but couldnt for the same reason.

But wasn't Paratici quoted as saying Ronaldos name was first brought up by Mendes while we were negotiating for Cancelo.

That means we were all in for Cancelo and we weren't just using him to get to Ronaldo.

Valencia's condition was even worse. Inter could not spend, but Valencia needed to raise close to 40m to stay within FFP rules.

He said it became concrete then, but he also said Mendes mentioned it a few times before too and Paratici laughed it off because he couldn't believe it. Anyway, probably isn't true, but if it is Paratici is not going to say 'yeah we bought him just to sign Ronaldo'.

They played him as right winger too besides RB. Cancelo wanted to move on.

There is an extra dimension to it that you are missing. Cancelo is Jorge Mendes player, who basically half runs clubs like Valencia because he helped their owner Lim buy the club. The club they bought Cancelo from was Benfica, another Jorge Mendes club. These clubs are used as window shopping venues for better talents like Cancelo.

Yep. They refused Barcas big bid for Rodrigo and rather sold Cancelo and Andre Gomes since they are much more replaceable.
