The main obstacle remains financial. While the clubs agree in principle on a possible loan move. Discussions are still ongoing regarding the division of Cancelo’s salary.

The full-back currently earns a substantial wage in Saudi Arabia, and Inter are pushing for Al Hilal to continue covering a significant portion of that figure.

Despite the lack of a final agreement, negotiations remain active.

Inter’s hierarchy believe there is room to close the gap, encouraged by the player’s willingness to consider a return to Italy and by Al Hilal’s openness to finding a solution.

For now, patience is required.

However, the tone of the talks has fuelled optimism in Milan that a deal for Cancelo could soon move into a decisive phase.

It is not the be all and end all for Inter’s market, however.

Names such as Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Marco Palestra continue to be linked with the Nerazzurri.
