João Cancelo Transferred to Al-Hilal from Manchester City

Manchester City has agreed to sell full-back João Cancelo to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for approximately £21.2 million. The 30-year-old Portuguese international, who fell out of favor at City after loan spells with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, is expected to sign a three-year contract with a salary of around €15 million per year. Cancelo, who was a key player for City early in his tenure, has not played for the club since January 2023 due to a series of loans and internal issues. His move marks another significant transfer for City this summer, which has seen them generate around £150 million in sales to comply with Premier League regulations. He will join notable players at Al-Hilal, including Neymar and his compatriot Ruben Neves. This transfer underscores the growing appeal of the Saudi Pro League and its ability to attract top talent.
