Barcelona right-back Joao Cancelo has attracted interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

The Portugal international is spending the season on-loan at Barca from Manchester City, and the deal doesn't contain a buyout clause.

The 29-year-old's contract at City expires in the summer of 2027, but the club plans to sell him for around €25 million, as per Sport.

Barcelona are facing financial struggles and such an amount seems to be out of their range.

Therefore, Al-Hilal are tempted to present a lucrative offer that would get them the player this summer.

Cancelo made 33 appearances for Barca across all competitions this season, with four goals and the same number of assists to his name thus far.
