Joao Cancelo is experiencing a footballing rebirth at Al Hilal. His move to the Saudi league raised doubts about his continuity at the highest level, but the Portuguese has shown that he remains a world-class full-back. His performance in the Arab team has been outstanding, showcasing his versatility, offensive quality, and defensive solidity, reigniting the interest of several European clubs for the upcoming transfer window.

Manchester United:

At the top of the list is Manchester United, currently enduring one of its worst seasons in years. Erik ten Hag believes the defense urgently needs reinforcements and sees Cancelo as an ideal option to boost the right flank, an area where the team has struggled with consistent performance issues.

AC Milan:

Another club closely monitoring the Portuguese full-back is AC Milan. The Rossoneri currently have Kyle Walker on loan, but if they fail to secure his permanent transfer, Cancelo would be a luxurious alternative to strengthen their defense.

Aston Villa:

Lastly, Aston Villa has also joined the fray for the player. Unai Emery is building a competitive team with serious ambitions in the Premier League and believes Cancelo could be a key piece in his ambitious project.
