Al-Hilal have confirmed the signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.
The right-back has reportedly signed a three-year contract after joining the Saudi Pro League club for a fee of £21million.
Cancelo originally joined the Citizens in August 2019 in a deal worth £60m, making him the most expensive right-back in history.
He made 154 appearances for City, winning three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
Cancelo spent last season on loan at Barcelona after a falling out with Pep Guardiola, and led the club's defenders in chances created (35), crosses (82) and shots (32), but the Catalan side opted not to extend his stay.
In his last full campaign at City in 2021-22, he played the most minutes of any outfielder for the team, while he was also involved in more attacking sequences than anyone else in the league (244).
"I had many very special moments during my time here at this great club.
"I would like to thank my team-mates, the coaches, all the staff at City and the fans for everything during my time here."

Barca could have made the deal permanent though but they were low on funds
As a Real Madrid fan, I would have preferred they signed him cos it will make my rival weaker.

so you expect Cancelo to come sit on the bench like Vazquez right
...well. He isn't even good enough for Real Madrid bench. When u look at Brahim, Guler, Fran, and Lunin, u will understand the quality on Real Madrid's bench. In fact, these players are on the bench cos Carlo can only play 11 players, so he isn't up to that quality

... Maybe He is not really good enough. You can't be a man city player, go on loan to Bayern and Barca, and couldn't convince any of City, Bayern, or Barca to offer you a contract. There is something we are not seeing that they are seeing. He was offered to Real Madrid, Real rather stuck with Vasquez n passed him on. We saw what Vazquez did to him during the El classico. It even resulted to a goal against Barca. Well...All the best in your new journey.
