Joao Cancelo Joins Al Hilal from Manchester City

Joao Cancelo has officially transferred from Manchester City to Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal for a fee of approximately £21 million, signing a three-year contract worth around €15 million annually. The move comes after Cancelo's turbulent tenure at City, including two loan spells at Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona due to a fallout with manager Pep Guardiola. Barcelona attempted to secure Cancelo on loan again but were hindered by financial constraints, prompting City to finalize a deal that allows them to cut ties with the player. Cancelo, who won multiple titles with City, including three Premier League titles, is set to join other stars like Neymar and Ruben Neves at Al Hilal. This transfer reflects Al Hilal's ongoing strategy to bolster their roster with high-profile players. City's summer transfer activities have now generated significant revenue, totaling £145 million in incomings.
