Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have shown interest in Manchester City’s experienced full-backs Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo. So they hope to use the latter’s arrival window to their advantage in achieving their target.
Guardian Sport reports that City are in a transition phase in both their squad and playing style. With Walker, who is a true captain only playing as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend.
That’s because the 34-year-old defender is not comfortable playing as an inverted full-back. Losing his starting spot to Rico Lewis, who is more suited to manager Josep Guardiola’s tactics. สมัคร UFABET
Cancelo is not in the plans of the ‘Sky Blues’ having just returned from a loan for the entire 2023-24 season at Barcelona. While the match at Stamford Bridge was not named in the list.
That’s why Al-Hilal believe their inbound window. Which runs until September 7 – a week after the UK’s August 30 closing date – will entice the two veterans to seek new experiences in the Middle East.
Al – Hilal are the defending champions of the Saudi Pro League. Having just won the Super Cup title at the weekend. The team is led by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus and has prominent players. Such as Neymar , Kalidou Koulibaly , Ruben Neves , Sergej Milinkovic – Savic or Aleksandar Mitrovic.
