The future of João Cancelo at Barcelona remains uncertain, but in Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal has already set the price for the departure of the Portuguese defender: 15 million euros. This is the amount the Saudi club intends to receive as compensation for the year of contract that the player still has, valid until 2027. Although Barcelona has not yet made a final decision regarding Cancelo's future, the positions of the two clubs are currently at opposite ends. The Catalan club intends to assess the player's sporting progress, and if the new coach Hansi Flick gives his approval, the intention is to secure his permanence at no cost through a contract termination. This approach is completely rejected by Al Hilal, which, according to Saudi media, does not oppose a definitive sale but only upon payment of the aforementioned financial compensation, given that they paid 25 million euros to Manchester City a year and a half ago. For Barça, this is an unacceptable condition. The issue of Cancelo's continuity is currently a secondary matter for Barcelona's management, which will only address the topic with his representative, Jorge Mendes, after an internal decision has been made, reports Mundo Deportivo. In Saudi Arabia, it is believed that the intervention of the Portuguese agent could be crucial to unlock a potential deadlock if a legal formula can be found to allow an amicable separation between the player and Al Hilal. João Cancelo was decisive in Barcelona's last victory at home against Rayo Vallecano (1-0), assisting Ronald Araújo for the only goal of the match. The Portuguese has been playing on the left side of defense and, with these three points, helped the Catalans maintain their solitary lead in La Liga, as well as qualification for next season's Champions League.
