"Understand Barcelona are set to submit a formal bid for Joao Cancelo! Loan with option to buy clause, on the table with Man City," Fabrizio Romano says.
Cancelo is not in Pep Guardiola's plan for the season having missed their opening game against Burnley. That would make the transfer less complicated.
Xavi has been crying out for a right-back all summer and it looks like he would finally get his man before the transfer window ends.
Barcelona will use part of Dembele's money for Cancelo, as revealed one week ago, Romano adds.
Barcelona started their first La Liga game of the season against Getafe with Ronald Araujo starting at right-back.
The Blaugrana are yet to register the likes of Sergino Dest who is also expected to leave this summer.
