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.

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.
