Joao Cancelo wanted by Saudi side Al-Hilal as future remains uncertain after Barcelona loan

Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are eyeing a move for Joao Cancelo before the summer transfer window closes.

Cancelo spent last season on loan at Barcelona and had been hoping to continue with the Catalans. However, he is back with parent club Manchester City for the time being.

Pep Guardiola has admitted he’s still not sure what will happen with the Portugal international but isn’t ruling out the possibility of him staying with City.

The Guardian are now reporting that Cancelo, and team-mate Kyle Walker, have been shortlisted by Al-Hilal are potential options to strengthen their defence.
