João Cancelo: On the verge of a surprising move from Manchester City to a Middle East club

João Cancelo, once hailed as one of the best right-backs in the world, appears to be on the brink of a significant career shift. After an unremarkable loan spell at FC Barcelona and now deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester City due to ongoing disagreements with manager Pep Guardiola, the 29-year-old Portuguese defender could be heading to an unexpected new destination.

 

According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Saudi club Al-Hilal has made an initial offer to Manchester City in a bid to secure Cancelo’s services.

 

While the exact figures of the offer remain undisclosed, negotiations are reportedly well underway between Al-Hilal, the player’s representatives, and the Premier League champions.

 

With three years remaining on his contract at Manchester City, Cancelo might be set to leave European football this summer, potentially joining forces with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

 

If finalized, this transfer would represent a major turning point in Cancelo’s career, which has seen him achieve great success in both England and Italy, as he prepares for a new chapter in the Middle East.
