Any decision on what happens with the 30-year-old is expected to be after Portugal's Euro 2024 campaign comes to an end.
Asked on the eve of the tournament about his future, with Barcelona keen to re-sign him next season, Cancelo said: "It created a certain uncertainty [previous speculation over his future] when I was off, but, from the first day
