La Liga outfit Valencia will play Alaves in the Copa Del Rey quarter-finals today and during yesterday’s official pre-match press conference, manager Marcelino was asked whether Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo, who is currently out on loan at Inter from Valencia, will be rejoining his side or not.
On a direct question if Valencia can resign the young full-back, Marcelino replied: “If Spalletti says he is staying then there’s no chance he will come back. You can take him on his words.”
There is a rumor doing the rounds that after Inter’s last match Joao Cancelo could be heading back to La Liga. A few Spanish media outlets have claimed that his agent Jorge Mendes is currently working to seal the deal that sees Cancelo return to the Mestalla. But today Valencia manager completely discarded these possibilities. The Portuguese international is currently on loan at Inter and so far has made six appearances in which he has been improving by every match.
