FC Barcelona is reportedly in talks with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal over a permanent transfer involving Joao Cancelo. The move has been described by reports as an active negotiation between the Spanish side and one of Saudi Arabia’s biggest teams.
According to the snippet, both Mundo Deportivo and 365 Scores said anonymous sources in Catalonia and the Middle East pointed to discussions over the deal. While the full terms were not available, the reporting suggests the conversations are focused on a permanent exit rather than a short-term arrangement.
The development is notable because it links a Barcelona first-team player with a direct move to the Saudi Pro League, a market that has continued to attract major names from European football. Al-Hilal has frequently been associated with high-profile transfer activity, which makes the reported talks a significant story in Barcelona’s transfer window.
For now, the reported negotiations remain at the discussion stage, with no official confirmation included in the available details. What is clear from the reports is that Cancelo’s future is again part of Barcelona’s transfer planning, with Al-Hilal emerging as the club in talks over a possible permanent switch.
