Portugal’s center back Premier League winners Manchester City and Saudi club Al-Hilal confirmed on Tuesday that Joao Cancelo has joined the latter. The 30-year-old, who played on loan at Barcelona during the previous season, has signed a three-year contract with the Saudi Pro League winners. Cancelo played a major role in each of his first three seasons at Man City after joining the team in 2019 from Juventus. But halfway through the 2022–23 season, he reportedly had a falling out with manager Pep Guardiola over his lack of playing time, and he ended up spending the remainder of that season on loan at Bayern Munich.
