According to Sportz, João Cancelo continues to consider his future even as he prepares for the World Cup with Portugal's national team.

From a personal perspective, significant developments in recent hours have clarified João Cancelo's plans for next season. After weeks of uncertainty, Al-Hilal confirmed that Simone Inzaghi would continue as manager, and the club has begun preparing reinforcements for the new campaign.

This news is particularly significant because Al-Hilal's transfer activity had previously stalled due to prolonged uncertainty over the managerial position. With Inzaghi's appointment now confirmed, the situation has become much clearer.

At this Saudi powerhouse, following the upheaval of potential coaching staff changes, João Cancelo stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries. Due to disagreements between the Italian manager and the Portuguese international, Cancelo was previously excluded from the squad and had to seek a loan move during last winter's transfer window. Barcelona emerged as a solution, Flick welcomed the Portuguese fullback's arrival, the player rediscovered his best form, and secured his World Cup participation.

However, one final step remains. Before João Cancelo can sign a new contract with Barcelona, he still requires Al-Hilal's agreement to terminate his existing deal. With Inzaghi now confirmed as manager, his departure from Saudi football has become significantly easier.

While it remains unclear whether a modest financial compensation will be needed or whether youth players might be included as part of the deal to complete the transfer, João Cancelo's contract termination with Al-Hilal and subsequent move to Barcelona appear largely confirmed.

Al-Hilal's final doubts have been resolved following reports of Inzaghi's squad requirements. According to multiple Saudi websites, the Italian manager has requested the signing of a right-back and a top-tier centre-back. These two requirements suggest the club no longer intends to retain Cancelo, will not attempt to resolve the disagreement with the manager, and has abandoned any illusion that he will fulfill his Saudi contract.
