Barcelona will be buying cancelo from manchester city as soon as possible. You shall not feel worry about that caused by xavi has been planning the best way for barcelona to anticipate the injured players. Cancelo was even better than araujo.
He can play as a defender in barcelona and he is still on the way to join in the barcelona very soon. I must admit that picking cancelo is the best decision by xavi at this moment. It's caused by barcelona needs a quality player.
I expect cancelo will come as soon as possible and you will be seeing someone is worthy enough in replacing araujo's position at this moment.
Last I read, the two clubs were said to be at the stage of exchanging documents in order to push through with the deal. This deal has a high possibility this summer as Barcelona are set to sign Cancelo on a season long loan deal before the window closes. Manchester City are interested in the deal but I am not sure if there is an option to sign permanently or a one way loan deal.
The presence of Joao Cancelo can complete the pieces that are lacking in Barcelona defense, Xavi has a complete defender for this season if no one is injured. The club has fulfilled Xavi wish, which wants to make Barcelona more solid, then the results achieved by Barcelona depend on the strategy set by Xavi. Xavi has had replacements for all the players who have gone to other clubs since the transfer market opened, he is not too worried about the condition of his team even though some of the substitutes have been promoted from Barcelona B.
Joao Cancelo will replace Sergino Dest who was loaned to PSV Eindhoven, the vacant position left by Jordi Alba has been filled by Alejandro Balde. Lamine Yamal is the ideal replacement for the position left by Dembele after moving to PSG, Busquet with Oriol Romeu, Pique with Araujo and Kessie with Gundogan. Meanwhile, Ingo Martinez will replace Lenglet, who is planned to be released to Aston Villa. Barcelona have also included an option to sign a contract permanently if Joao Cancelo performances live up to expectations during his loan spell.
