Joao Cancelo has decided to cut ties with Al-Hilal this winter, with Inter Milan vying for the Portuguese wingback’s signature.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 31-year-old is hellbent on returning to Europe in January.

Super-agent Jorge Mendes is already trying to find a new club for his client, who is no longer happy in Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, Mendes has reportedly offered Joao Cancelo to several Serie A teams, including Inter.

Despite his eye-watering €15.5 million annual wages, Cancelo is desperate to leave Riyadh in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Inter are on the lookout for a new wingback.

With Denzel Dumfries facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the San Siro giants must strengthen the right wing in January.

Indeed, Luis Henrique has failed to live up to the billing, forcing Beppe Marotta to dip back into the market.

Cancelo would be a decent option for Inter, although his substantial salary could pose a serious threat to the club’s bid to bring him back.
