The Portuguese was on the Gunners' radar during the last summer transfer window , but he opted to move to Barcelona on loan.

He has spoken about his desire to continue with the Catalan giants, but there is no guarantee that will happen at the moment.

City want at least £40 million to part ways with the Portuguese and as things stand, the Blaugrana can't afford him due to FFP issues.

They are looking into another loan deal, but The Sun claim that is unlikely. Arsenal are considered as potential contenders.

Mikel Arteta is eyeing a top-level left-back ahead of next season and Cancelo has been earmarked as an ideal fit.

The 29-year-old has a good relationship with Arteta from the latter's time at City where he was the assistant manager.

It is left to be seen whether the Gunners make an approach. His arrival could pave the way for a left-back exit.
