The president of the Milan "Inter" club, Giuseppe Marotta, commented on the possibilities of re-signing Joao Cancelo and a defender's transfer to Riyadh's "Al-Hilal" team:

Denzel Dumfries will not play for two months, and we are trying to invite J. Cancelo.

We need to make a decision on the right-back position since D. Dumfries is injured.

Joao Cancelo earns a high salary; we are talking to him to understand the situation. We need a new right-back.

The "Al-Hilal" team needs a new center-back... They could consider Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij. We will look into it further.

Joao Cancelo is very eager to move to the "Barcelona" club, but he is also considering the "nerazzurri" offer.

The 31-year-old Portuguese has been playing in Saudi Arabia since the summer of 2024 and has scored 3 goals in 45 matches.

In this season, he has scored once in six matches.
