Reports: Barcelona Completes Deal for Cancelo from Al Hilal

Barcelona has finalized an agreement with Al Hilal for the transfer of Portuguese international Joao Cancelo, paving the way for the defender's return to the Catalan club during the current transfer window.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the deal is completed, as Cancelo has finalized all procedures related to the termination of his contract with Al Hilal.

The Portuguese full-back has received approval to travel to Spain early next week, paving the way for the completion of his transfer and a return to Barcelona.

João Cancelo wore the Barcelona jersey during the second half of last season, when he played for the Catalan team on loan from Al Hilal.

The player has shown a clear desire to remain at Barcelona during his previous experience, which has made his return to the Spanish club a goal for him in recent times.

João Cancelo's potential departure from Al Hilal comes after a period spent with the Saudi team, before his career heads back towards the Spanish leagues.

In the coming days, the official procedures for the transfer are expected to be completed, with Cancelo heading to Barcelona to finalize the last details and join the team.

Current developments indicate that the Portuguese full-back is nearing a new chapter with Barcelona, after both clubs agreed to terminate his association with Al Hilal.
