Manchester City officially announced the transfer of his defender Joao Cancelo in Saudi Arabia Al-Hilal.
The 30-year-old Portuguese has moved to the Middle East on a permanent basis. It was previously reported that Joao would sign a three-year contract and would earn 15 million euros a year at his new club.
Before this, it became known that Al-Hilal had agreed with Manchester City on the transfer of the defender for 25 million euros.
In mid-August, it was reported that Barcelona, for whom the Portuguese played on loan last season, were working on leasing Cancelo. Cancelo himself also expressed a desire to return to Camp Nou. The clubs failed to agree on the amount of the player’s final buyout.
The Portuguese had 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.
