A well-known journalist has confirmed that Portuguese right-back João Cancelo, who currently plays for Al Hilal and is set to leave in the winter window, will return to Barcelona on loan.
He said: “Exclusive: João Cancelo joins Barcelona. The loan agreement has been reached until June. Exclusive confirmation: Barça will pay Al Hilal 4 million euros as the loan fee, as revealed today. Although Inter Milan had reached an agreement with Al Hilal, Cancelo only wanted to go to Barcelona.”
The 31-year-old Cancelo joined Al Hilal from Manchester City for 25 million euros in the summer window of 2024. He previously spent a year on loan at Barcelona in 2023.
