According to Sport, Al-Hilal has confirmed that Simone Inzaghi will continue as the club's manager, and Cancelo's prospects for departing are becoming increasingly clear.

In recent days, Cancelo has faced considerable uncertainty. Portugal's World Cup campaign, combined with questions about his professional future, has kept him anxious amid various rumors during this period.

However, not all current news is negative. Quite the opposite. After a difficult start, Portugal's performance at the World Cup has improved, and Cancelo himself has played remarkably well.

On a personal level, a crucial development has been confirmed in recent hours, clearing the path for Cancelo's next move: after weeks of uncertainty, Al-Hilal has confirmed that Simone Inzaghi will remain as manager, and the club has already begun preparations for new signings and squad adjustments.

This news is especially significant because the Saudi club's managerial position had been up in the air for so long, which had largely stalled Al-Hilal's recruitment and transfer efforts. Now that Inzaghi's future is settled, everything has become much clearer.

With no major changes to the Saudi club's coaching staff, Cancelo could be one of the biggest beneficiaries. Previously, there were disagreements between the Portuguese international and the Italian manager, which led to Cancelo's temporary exclusion from the squad. This prompted him to seek a loan move in the winter transfer window. Barcelona then stepped in, manager Hansi Flick was satisfied with the Portuguese full-back's arrival, and Cancelo regained his best form, securing his place in the World Cup squad.

But one final hurdle remained: obtaining Al-Hilal's consent to terminate the remaining year of his contract with the Saudi club before he could finalize a new deal with Barcelona. Now, with Inzaghi continuing as manager, Cancelo's path to leaving Saudi football has become much easier.

It remains to be seen whether a small compensation fee will be required or if some form of exchange involving Barcelona's young players will take place, but Cancelo is expected to terminate his contract with Al-Hilal and sign a new contract with Barcelona.

Al-Hilal has revealed Simone Inzaghi's initial demands for squad restructuring, eliminating any remaining doubt. According to several Saudi media outlets, the Italian manager has requested the signing of a top-quality right-back and centre-back. These two priorities essentially rule out the possibility of Cancelo being recalled, reconciling with the manager, and continuing to fulfill his contract in Saudi Arabia.
