"After a few days of delay, Joao Cancelo has finally arrived in Barcelona today to complete his loan move to Barça from Al Hilal. The 31-year-old right-back will be signing on a loan deal until the end of the season, with his desire to return to the club playing a key role in the move. After all, Cancelo also had a more lucrative offer from Inter Milan, who had already reached a verbal agreement with Al Hilal."
"But the Portuguese international held firm on his desire to return to Barça, where he had spent the 2023/24 season on loan from Manchester City. Cancelo's arrival and medical were initially planned to be held last Friday, but had to be postponed due to some minor logistical issues. While there was a possibility that the formalities could be completed on Saturday, the Catalans ultimately decided to go through with the final touches this week once the team was back from Saudi Arabia after the Spanish Super Cup final."
