Earlier, the Saudi club agreed with Manchester City on a transfer for 25 million euros
Defender Manchester City Joao Cancelo close to signing a three-year contract with Al-Hilalem.
The Portuguese will earn 15 million euros a year at his new club. The Saudis plan to finalize the deal in the coming hours.
Let us recall that Al-Hilal agreed with Manchester City on the transfer of the defender for 25 million euros. The Saudi club still needs to get the player’s approval for the transfer.
It was previously reported that Barcelona, for whom the Portuguese played on loan last season, is working on leasing Cancelo. Cancelo himself has also expressed a desire to return to Camp Nou. The clubs have not yet agreed on the amount of the player’s final buyout.
The Portuguese has a contract with the Citizens until the summer of 2027. Last season, Cancelo scored four goals and made five assists in 42 matches for Barcelona.
Al-Hilal started the Saudi Arabian championship with a crushing away win over Al-Ahdud (3:0). Jorge Jesus’ team will play their next match on August 28 at home against Damac.
