Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal are reportedly targeting Manchester City defenders Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo. While City have managed to keep Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne at the club for another season despite interest, the SPL’s pursuits of Walker and Cancelo may result in exits at this stage of the transfer window. Cancelo, who was left out of the squad against Chelsea, has been given the green light to leave, with Al-Hilal showing interest in both full-backs.

While Walker is unlikely to leave City due to his importance and recent extension, Cancelo’s potential departure could be facilitated by Al-Hilal’s financial capabilities. The £220k-a-week star’s desire to rejoin Barcelona may complicate matters, but Al-Hilal’s interest could offer a solution to his potential sale, as the Saudi transfer window remains open until October 6. Pep Guardiola’s comments regarding Cancelo’s involvement this season may indicate a willingness to move the player on, with Al-Hilal’s pursuit potentially shaping his future.
