Joao Cancelo could return to Europe as early as January. The Portuguese player is set to leave Al Hilal due to issues related to squad lists and a relationship with the new coaching staff that never really blossomed. The situation has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Inter.
According to what Fabrizio Romano revealed on YouTube, the Nerazzurri are carefully considering the opportunity to bring the full-back back to Italy. Sporting director Piero Ausilio is said to have had direct contact with Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, with whom there is a well-established relationship despite few deals being completed in recent years.
Inter have gathered information on the costs of the operation and, according to reports, have also started a dialogue with Al Hilal to find a formula that can satisfy all parties involved. The club’s intention seems to be to concretely explore the feasibility of the transfer.
Barcelona have also made a move for Cancelo, but the Catalans have to deal with Financial Fair Play constraints and the need to balance income and expenditure. Juventus have made less in-depth inquiries, with some concerns about the player’s behavior.
In the coming hours, Mendes will be working on this front to find a solution. There is a good feeling between the parties and the situation could evolve quickly.
