Joao Cancelo is playing for "his dream club" after joining Barcelona on loan from Manchester City. The 29-year-old was also on loan at Bayern Munich last season but admitted he is happy with his new spell in Spain.
"At the moment they haven't told me anything, but I hope I can stay. I'm doing everything to make that happen. I really want to play for Benfica, really, but I want to play two or three more years here," he told RTP'.
"Although we have financial problems, I am delighted to be here. After Benfica, it is the club that I always liked. Pepe told me many times that he was a player for Real Madrid, but I told him that it was for Barcelona. The truth is that I am where I always wanted to be."
When the Portugal international was asked about his disagreements with Pep Guardiola, he responded: "There are things we didn't agree on, we're not obligated to agree on everything.
"I had things I didn't agree on or he didn't agree with something I said, it was just that. But I don't have resentment, I am very grateful. Life goes on, I am very, very happy here," he added.
