Al-Hilal, one of Saudi Arabia's top clubs, remains firm on the fate of their defender, Joao Cancelo. It's becoming clear that this will not be easy for Barcelona, which wants to acquire the Portuguese player.
According to reports, Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick is in favor of keeping Cancelo on loan during the winter transfer window. The specialist highly appreciates its versatility and activity on the field and wants to see it in future plans.
However, Barcelona's management is considering acquiring the player solely as a free agent. This is absolutely unacceptable for Al-Hilal. The Saudi club has clearly stated it will not let its player go for free and is reportedly demanding at least €15 million for the transfer.
During his short loan spell at Barcelona, Cancelo managed to prove himself on the best side. She made 12 appearances, contributing with 1 goal and 4 assists. His addition to the attack and activity on the wings attracted the attention of fans.
At the same time, this transfer story is expected to become even more intense in the coming months. Because if one side wants to keep the player, the other side does not want to give up financial interests.
It's still unclear which decision will be made in the end, but one thing is certain - the transfer drama surrounding Cancelo will continue. Fans will continue to watch this process with great interest.
