 João Cancelo has officially joined Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal from Manchester City in a transfer deal valued at approximately €35 million. The transfer was confirmed on August 28, 2024, following weeks of speculation. Cancelo signed a three-year contract with Al Hilal, marking another significant acquisition by the Saudi Pro League, which has been actively recruiting top players from European leagues.

The Portuguese full-back had been seeking a new challenge after spending last season on loan at Barcelona, where he made a substantial impact. Al Hilal’s offer was attractive both financially and in terms of playing opportunities, leading Cancelo to make the move, despite interest from European clubs like Barcelona【23†source】【24†source】.
