Barcelona swoop in to steal Joao Cancelo away from Inter Milan

Barcelona have reportedly moved in to sign Joao Cancelo on loan from Al Hilal despite Inter Milan already agreeing a deal with the Saudi club.

Cancelo, 31, who joined the Saudi Pro League club from Man City back in 2024, is now pushing for a return to Europe.

Several reports had revealed that former club Inter Milan had agreed a loan deal with Al Hilal for the right back.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona, another club he spent a season at on loan, have now joined the race to sign Cancelo.

It’s understood that the La Liga leaders have made a loan offer that would cover a small percentage of Cancelo’s current Saudi wages.

Romano adds that Cancelo has been waiting for Barcelona to make their move and the Catalan’s are his clear preference.
