Report – Inter Milan Face Major Roadblock In Quest To Sign Al-Hilal Wingback | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Juventus are reportedly embroiled in an intense transfer battle to sign Al-Hilal superstar Joao Cancelo.

According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, both clubs are vying for the 31-year-old’s signature.

Joao Cancelo is determined to part ways with Al-Hilal after slipping down the pecking order under new head coach Simone Inzaghi.

Furthermore, the former Manchester City wingback is unwilling to stay in Saudi Arabia and wants to return to Europe.

On the other hand, Inter are desperate to replace the injured Denzel Dumfries.

Cancelo’s staggering €18 million annual salary is out of Inter’s reach.

Therefore, they need the player to take a massive pay cut to facilitate his return to San Siro.

Moreover, the same applies to Juventus, who sold the Portuguese ace to Man City in 2019.

Instead, neither club can offer more than €4 million net per season.

Meanwhile, the Serie A giants must be wary of Barcelona’s interest.
