Barcelona set to lose out on another target to Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Earlier on Tuesday, it was announced that Joao Cancelo had joined Al Hilal from Manchester City. Throughout the summer, the Portuguese full-back had been strongly linked with a return to Barcelona, and until recently, there still seemed to be a somewhat realistic chance that a deal could be done. Instead, it was not to be.

Cancelo may not be the only Barcelona target that is snapped up by Al Hilal this week. As per MD, the reigning Saudi Pro League champions have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich to sign Kingsley Coman.

Speculation on Coman re-uniting with Hansi Flick has been consistent in recent weeks, following news that Barcelona had given up hope of signing Nico Williams this summer. The 28-year-old is available on loan, although it now appears that he could be heading to Saudi Arabia on a permanent basis.

Coman was behind Federico Chiesa in Barcelona’s list of left-wing targets. However, with Liverpool now in for the Italian, there is a strong chance that neither arrives before Friday’s deadline.
