Al-Hilal is interested in signing Manchester City‘s Joao Cancelo, but the Premier League club has no intention of selling Kyle Walker, a source told ESPN.
Cancelo’s Future at Manchester City
Cancelo, who has been a key player for Manchester City since joining from Juventus in 2019, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia‘s Al-Hilal. The 28-year-old has made 154 appearances for the Premier League champions, winning four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, and two League Cups.
Walker’s Future at Manchester City
Walker, on the other hand, is not for sale, the source said. The 32-year-old has been a vital part of Manchester City‘s defense since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017. He has made 334 appearances for the club, winning four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, and the Champions League in 2020-21.
Manchester City‘s Transfer Plans
Manchester City is planning to strengthen its squad this summer, with the club targeting a new striker and a central defender. Erling Haaland, who joined from Borussia Dortmund, is expected to lead the line, but Pep Guardiola wants another forward to provide competition and cover.
Al-Hilal‘s Transfer Plans
Al-Hilal, who won the AFC Champions League in 2019 and 2021, is looking to bolster its squad with high-profile signings. The Saudi Arabian club has already signed Odion Ighalo from Al Shabab and is now targeting Cancelo to strengthen its defense.
Conclusion
Al-Hilal‘s interest in Cancelo could see the Portuguese international leave Manchester City this summer, but Walker is not for sale. Manchester City is planning to strengthen its squad with new signings, while Al-Hilal is targeting high-profile players to improve its team.
