Manchester City have confirmed that defender Cancelo has left the club to join Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal on a permanent transfer.
Pep Guardiola’s side disclosed this in a statement on their website ahead of their Premier League clash with West Ham United on Saturday.
“Joao Cancelo has moved to Al Hilal in a permanent deal,” Man City’s statement partly read.
Cancelo joined Man City from Juventus in the summer of 2019.
The Portugal international had loan spells at Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the past.
Speaking after completing his move to Al Hilal, Cancelo told Man City’s website: “I would like to wish everyone at City continued success in the future.
“I had many very special moments during my time here at this great Club.”
