At 00:16 UTC (CEST) on August 16, Cancelo reposted a prayer on social media.

The prayer read: "Please keep me away from those who pretend to support me but secretly wish for my downfall. Please separate me from praise that hides jealousy and smiles that conceal malice. Grant me the discernment to distinguish truth from falsehood and the courage to distance myself from pretense."

May my inner self remain intact when faced with the malice of others; may my light not be extinguished by their shadows. Grant me the patience to calmly withdraw, for evil will eventually destroy itself.

May all disguises be shed at the appropriate time, so I can see who truly walks with me. And may only those who genuinely rejoice in my every victory remain by my side.

Earlier, multiple media outlets reported that Cancelo was no longer on Al Hilal's roster and that Barcelona were still trying to re-sign him, possibly as early as the next few days.
