Cancelo battle is on: Barcelona respond to first Inter offer

The battle is on for Joao Cancelo, as after Inter reached a verbal agreement with Al-Hilal, now Barcelona have reportedly made their first offer.

The winger has been effectively frozen out in the Saudi Pro League and is eager to move back to European football in the January transfer window.

His huge salary is a problem, so Sky Sport Italia reported Inter reached a verbal agreement to sign him in exchange for either Stefan de Vrij or Francesco Acerbi going the other way.
