The Manchester City defender's return to Pep Guardiola's squad after a loan spell was short-lived and now the Citizens are sorting out the final nuances of his sale.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the reigning English champions have reached a verbal agreement to sell Joao Cancelo to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. Manchester City are owed in the region of €25 million for the deal.
However, so far the Portuguese defender has not given his consent to move to the Middle East, and a lot of the deal depends on him. Al-Hilal are ready to financially not offend Cancelo and offered him a contract with a salary of 15 million euros per season.
It is believed that the Portuguese defender will make his judgement on the deal soon.
Earlier it was reported that Cancelo does not want to move to Saudi Arabia, but he is under pressure from Manchester City themselves as Guardiola is not ready to offer him game practice.
