Breaking news! The signing that Hansi Flick has requested has just landed in Barcelona

FC Barcelona's fans are delighted after winning the Spanish Super Cup against their eternal rival, Real Madrid, but also because of the events that keep surrounding the team.

In addition to the sporting successes that Hansi Flick is achieving at the helm of the culé team, it now seems that Deco and Laporta are also stepping up. It's still early January, but Barça's directors have already secured the first reinforcement to fight for every possible title.

We are talking, no more and no less, about Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese full-back has cut ties with Al Hilal and has already landed in Barcelona to join Barça's ranks. Hansi Flick, who had insisted on reinforcing both full-back positions, is surely delighted with Joao's presence at Barcelona Airport just a few minutes ago.

Joao Cancelo arrives at Barça on loan until the end of the season

The images of Joao Cancelo at Barcelona Airport have spread like wildfire. At his arrival he could be seen particularly happy, with the smile of someone who is fulfilling his dream. For the Portuguese full-back, the first and only option was to return to Camp Nou.

The truth is that Joao Cancelo's arrival is explained by the defensive need that Barça has been dragging along for months. At this moment, Koundé and Balde are the starters, but the surprise comes when we analyze the alternatives that Hansi Flick has. On the right there is nobody, while on the left, Gerard Martín is the only natural solution for that position.

Given such a scenario, Joao Cancelo's arrival until the end of the season is an enormous relief for FC Barcelona. From now on, Hansi Flick will be able to rest Koundé or Balde with great peace of mind, since the former City or Bayern player can operate on both flanks without problems. In addition, at an attacking level he could also provide many solutions.

The only question mark with Joao Cancelo is his defensive commitment. We must remember that Hansi Flick has implemented a strategy based on pressing after losing the ball and on keeping the defensive line very high. That's why the German coach will surely carry out a mini preseason with Cancelo so that he acquires all the necessary mechanisms.

In any case, what is clear is that Joao Cancelo will officially be a Barça player in the coming hours. He is scheduled to undergo his medical examination this very afternoon. Hansi Flick has surely celebrated the news more than anyone.
