Returning to FC Barcelona for the second time on loan, João Cancelo will see his wish come true. Under contract with Al-Hilal until 2027, the Portuguese full-back will not return to Saudi Arabia. The radio Cadena COPE claims that an agreement has been reached between the Saudi club and the Blaugrana.
Cancelo will be loaned for six months. He will then sign a two-year contract with the Catalans. For its part, FC Barcelona will pay around €10 million to Al-Hilal. At 32, Cancelo remains in Europe and will join Hansi Flick’s team during the pre-season camp in England.
