Portugal’s Dynamic Duo on the Move: Neves and Cancelo May Exit Al-Hilal

Two Portuguese Stars at a Crossroads

The Portuguese duo at Al-Hilal, Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo, are reportedly weighing exits in the near future, according to Saudi press.

Neves's contract runs until the end of the current season, with no renewal in sight. Cancelo's deal extends to 2027, but he too desires a move.

Gestifute, the agency that handles their affairs, has confirmed interest in a possible departure, though no formal offers have arrived yet.

Neves is tipped to return to Europe after links to Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Galatasaray have resurfaced.

Cancelo is said to want to leave after the coach's preference to retain him or reinstate him domestically, following an Asia-only registration due to injury.

End notes: Inzaghi's plan to keep Cancelo or include him domestically has shaped the discussions, with the pair yet to enter formal negotiations.

Punchline 1: If football transfers were a dating app, Europe would be swiping right on these two again.

Punchline 2: Al-Hilal might soon need a bigger trophy cabinet for all the going-away parties.
