The Saudi Pro League is emerging as an option for Manchester City wing-back Joao Cancelo.

Cancelo spent last season on-loan with Barcelona, but the Catalans are struggling to meet City's price to make the deal permanent.

Instead, a move to Saudi could be on for the Portugal international.

Mundo Deportivo says  Saudi clubs Al Ahli and Al-Ettifaq are entering the tug of war for Cancelo.

City are demanding at least £25m to sell Cancelo this summer.

Barcelona are not ready to pay that sum, opening the door to a move to the Saudi Pro League.

The 30-year-old's contract with  City runs until the summer of 2027.
