Defender Cancelo leaves Man City for Saudi club Al-Hilal

Joao Cancelo won three Premier League titles with Manchester City

Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has moved to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal in a £21.2m deal.

The 30-year-old Portugal international joined Pep Guardiola's side from Juventus for £60m in 2019 and became a key component of the side.

However, following a disagreement with Guardiola, the full-back was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich in January 2023 and he spent last season at Barcelona.

Guardiola had indicated earlier this summer that Cancelo might have a future at the club, but he was not involved in City's two Premier League games this season.

Cancelo made 154 appearances for City, scoring nine goals.
