Aston Villa looking to bring Cancelo back to Europe
Former Manchester City and Barcelona defender João Cancelo is currently enjoying his time at Saudi club Al Hilal, but several European teams are keen to bring the Portuguese full-back back.
Details: According to CaughtOffside, Aston Villa is ready to enter the race for the 30-year-old defender. It remains to be seen whether Cancelo will see the Villans as the best option or if he will prefer a move to clubs like Manchester United or AC Milan, who are also among his suitors.
Reminder: Earlier, it was reported that PSG did not include a direct purchase option in Marco Asensio’s loan deal to Aston Villa. However, both clubs remain open to negotiating a permanent transfer in the summer, with a final decision expected in June when the loan expires.
