Al-Hilal have reportedly submitted a bid for Manchester City right-back Joao Cancelo.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Saudis have begun negotiations with Manchester City and the player’s representatives. 

The SPL champions consider the Portugal international their primary target this summer.

Al-Hilal boss Jorge Jesus is also a huge fan of Cancelo, and is pushing for the deal to go through.

If the Riyadh-based giants were to succeed in their quest to sign the 30-year-old, they could end up offloading Saud Abdulhamid to AS Roma afterward.
