How much did Manchester City pay for Joao Cancelo's transfer?
Manchester City paid Juventus a reported €65 million to sign Joao Cancelo in the summer of 2019. This figure included an additional €5 million in add-ons, taking the total transfer fee to €70 million. The move made Cancelo the second-most expensive full-back in the world, after his Juventus teammate and friend, Dani Alves.
The fee is a club record for a defender, and it also made Cancelo the most expensive Portuguese player of all time. It was a steep price for the 25-year-old, but City felt it was necessary to secure the services of the full-back who had impressed in Serie A and the Champions League.
Cancelo has since made 57 appearances for City and established himself as a key player in Pep Guardiola's side. His performances have been impressive, and he has proved to be an excellent addition to the team. The expensive transfer fee was certainly worth it for Manchester City, and they are sure to benefit from having Cancelo in their squad for years to come.
