The Portuguese star is close to staying in “Barcelona”. Who will replace him?
Al Hilal are close to signing a replacement for Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo in the current summer transfer window, despite a surprise move from Al-Qadisiyah to scuttle the deal.
Cancelo is close to a move to Barcelona in the current summer transfer window, given his desire not to return to Al Hilal at the end of his loan spell, especially in light of the presence of Italian coach Simone Inzaghi.
Saudi journalist Abdul Rahman Abaaoud said that Al Hilal has reached the advanced stages of its negotiations with Al Taawun club to acquire the services of its right-back Mohamed Mahzri in this summer’s Mercato.
Al-Hilal had tried to sign Mahzri since Mercato’s inception to replace Cancelo next season, but the high financial demands of the Al-Taawoun club kept him away from the deal at the last minute.
Al-Qadisiya club entered into a deal recentlyTo kidnap the Saudi right-back from Al-Hilal’s fangs before the “leader” returns and is close to solving it.
Mahzri is considered one of the meritorious players of Saudi football. He even joined the first team to face Serbia in March last year, but did not make the Greens’ roster for the 2026 World Cup.
Last season, the 24-year-old played 35 matches in the Saudi League with Al-Taaoon and the Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, during which he managed to become the author of a goal and two assists.
