Joao Cancelo Likely to Leave Al-Hilal

Portuguese footballer Joao Cancelo is expected to leave Al-Hilal during the January transfer window. Cancelo is reportedly considering a return to Europe, as he is not satisfied with his experience in Saudi Arabia. Inter have already expressed their interest in acquiring him, approaching Al-Hilal to discuss the conditions of a possible loan. The Nerazzurri see Cancelo as a valuable solution for the flanks of their defense. Simultaneously, there have been contacts with Barcelona and Juventus, who are also interested in the player and have requested information regarding his situation and potential deals. Al-Hilal is reportedly open to the idea of a loan, but will seek to ensure that its financial requirements are met. Cancelo joined Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023, but has not fully adapted to the new environment. His decision to request his departure indicates that his priority is to play in a competitive league and have the opportunity to develop as a player. Developments are expected to be rapid, with January expected to be a 'hot' month for Cancelo's future. Joao Cancelo is considered one of the best right-backs in the world, with extensive experience in top European leagues. His return to Europe will undoubtedly be a significant transfer for whichever team manages to acquire him.
