Cancelo transfer expected to be resolved in July, Mendes exploring options

According to the latest report from "Mundo Deportivo", the transfer of Cancelo is not expected to be resolved until July.

It is reported that Barcelona is interested in bringing in Cancelo and a striker, the striker being another clear transfer target for Barcelona in the upcoming summer window. However, insiders at Barcelona believe that this deal needs careful consideration.

Barcelona is well aware that negotiations with Al-Hilal will not be easy. Al-Hilal is very protective of its players and will vigorously defend its interests. Cancelo has one year left on his contract with Al-Hilal, but he does not want to fulfill this contract.

In addition, Al-Hilal must first resolve issues within its sports department. They are currently selecting and hiring a sporting director to formulate development plans for next season. Their primary decision is whether to retain Simone Inzaghi.

This is not a trivial matter. Simone Inzaghi has a very tense relationship with Cancelo and originally intended to sell the player. If Al-Hilal chooses another coach, they will have to negotiate a contract with the new coach and discuss many issues, including Cancelo.

Cancelo's agent, Mendes, is also working hard to make this happen, exploring various ingenious ways to bring the player to Barcelona. One solution to this problem is through Casado, who is one of Al-Hilal's targets in the next transfer window.

If Casado joins Al-Hilal, Barcelona can certainly demand Cancelo's transfer as part of the compensation. Currently, both Cancelo and Barcelona remain calm. Cancelo still needs to resolve the issue of his termination fee with Al-Hilal.

This will take time, so Cancelo's transfer may not be resolved until July. In any case, his top priority remains to stay at Barcelona. He has performed excellently in the past six months and has agreed to a two-year contract with Barcelona.
