Manchester City have agreed a \u00a321.2m deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal to sell defender Joao Cancelo.<\/b><\/p>\n

Personal terms are not thought to be a problem, although Cancelo is yet to agree to the move.<\/p>\n

If Cancelo does, the 30-year-old is expected to sign a three-year contract, ending his five-year stay at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

City manager Pep Guardiola said this month<\/a> Cancelo could play for the club again.<\/p>\n

However, the disagreement which led to Cancelo spending time on loan with Bayern Munich and Barcelona over the past 18 months was always likely to prove a major stumbling block.<\/p>\n

Cancelo has not been involved in City\u2019s two Premier League games this season.<\/p>\n

He also missed the Community Shield victory over Manchester United when a number of City players were unavailable because of their appearance at the European Championship in Germany.<\/p>\n

Initially, the Portugal defender became Guardiola\u2019s first inverted full-back, but then lost his place just months after signing a new contract in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
