It was not my decision to Leave Manchester City, I tried reconciling with the staffs I was FORCED out of the Club- Manchester United Former Defender Joao cancelo has Exposed who forced him out of Man City
According to a source who spoke to ESPN, Al Hilal is very close to acquiring João Cancelo from Manchester City.
The Portugal international will pay an initial £21 million ($28 million) to join the Saudi Pro League. Cancelo is almost certain to sign a deal worth about £15 million annually.
The 30-year-old, who spent time on loan at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, has not been on the field for City in 18 months.
The defender did not make the team for the opening two Premier League games against Chelsea and Ipswich Town, despite returning to Manchester for training this summer.
After more than 150 games played and three Premier League titles, he is leaving City. In the PFA Premier League teams of the year in 2021 and 2022, he was also chosen two times.
Cancelo last appeared on the field for City in January 2023, following a surprise loan to Bayern Munich. He joined Barcelona on loan for the 2023–24 season last summer after the German team opted against making the agreement permanent.
