Juventus Not Giving Up On Inter Milan Target As Clubs Scramble To Beat Barcelona To Vital Signing | OneFootball

Inter Milan have opened the door to a potential return for João Cancelo, but the club are unwilling to wait much longer for a final decision.

According to Tuttosport, Inter Milan have already defined the terms of a possible deal with Al-Hilal.

Indeed, following the breakdown of the Portuguese defender’s relationship with Simone Inzaghi in Saudi Arabia.

The operation is not yet closed.

Cancelo is still weighing up his options, with Barcelona, Juventus, and Benfica all monitoring the situation.

Inter Set Cancelo Deadline Amid Juventus Links

Despite that competition, there is optimism in Milan after positive contacts with the club from Riyadh.

Inter, however, have now set a clear deadline. The Nerazzurri expect a definitive response from Cancelo by the start of next week.

Club executives Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio do not intend to drag negotiations out any further, wary of leaving the door open for Barcelona or other suitors to step in.

It is effectively a “take it or leave it” scenario, with a four-to-five day window to close the deal.

Juventus are not completely out of the race.

Tuttosport underline that the Bianconeri remain attentive, even if Inter have accelerated in recent days to gain the upper hand.

There is also a possible reverse operation being discussed.

Inzaghi has asked Al-Hilal for defensive reinforcements and would welcome either Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij.

Inter are not standing in the way of a departure, provided a small compensation is included, with both players approaching the final months of their contracts.
