Inter Take Concrete Steps for João Cancelo Return From Al‑Hilal

The move hinges on the Saudi club covering part of his reported €15 million net salary or the player accepting a significant pay cut.

Overview

  • Inter are in talks with agent Jorge Mendes after reportedly advancing plans for a January deal.
  • Cancelo is pushing to return to Europe to secure regular minutes ahead of the next World Cup.
  • Reports put his wages at around €15–15.5 million net per season, a level Inter cannot match without concessions.
  • A loan is viewed as feasible only if Al‑Hilal subsidize pay, with a 2027 contract adding complexity to negotiations.
  • Barcelona and Juventus are also credited with interest, as coverage describes a breakdown with coach Simone Inzaghi.
