According to the latest report of the famous Italian journalist Scilla, the English Premier League giants Manchester City and the Saudi giants Riyadh Crescent have reached a preliminary agreement on the transfer of the Portuguese defender Cancelo. The news quickly attracted widespread attention in the soccer world, because Cancelo, as one of the top wingbacks in today's world soccer world, will undoubtedly affect the strength pattern of many teams.
Scilla revealed that Cancelo is currently seriously considering the transfer offer. Despite his personal preference to return to Barcelona, the reality is that the best offer City have received so far comes from Riyadh Crescent. This shows the Saudi league's strong financial strength and determination in attracting world-class stars.
It is worth noting that Barcelona, for their part, have not completely given up hope of bringing in Cancelo. Although they have not yet submitted a formal offer to Manchester City, Barcelona and Cancelo's camp still maintain close contact with each other. This shows that Barcelona is still trying to get the Portuguese international in the hope of strengthening the team's defense in the new season.
Cancelo was loaned to Barcelona by Manchester City last season and had a successful season there. He made 42 appearances for Barcelona, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists, showing excellent offensive and defensive abilities and professional attitude. As a result, Barcelona have high expectations for his return.
However, Cancelo's contract with Manchester City runs until 2027, meaning any team looking to bring him in would need to face a hefty transfer fee and complex contract negotiations. For Riyadh Crescent, they are clearly ready and willing to make a very competitive offer for Cancelo.
