The Nerazzurri remain optimistic about Cancelo\u2019s willingness to return to Serie A, and discussions with the Saudi club are progressing positively.<\/p>\n

At this stage, Stefan de Vrij<\/a> is considered more likely than Francesco Acerbi to move in the opposite direction as part of the wider negotiations.<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal are keen to reinforce their defence and view the Dutch international as a profile that fits their needs, especially given his experience and leadership.<\/p>\n

The coming weekend could prove decisive.<\/p>\n

Inter are pushing to close the operation quickly<\/a>, aware that Cancelo\u2019s situation will not remain open indefinitely.<\/p>\n

In the background, Barcelona continue to monitor the situation.<\/p>\n

Cancelo has already worn the Blaugrana shirt and would welcome a return to Spain, but Inter currently feel they hold a concrete advantage in the race.<\/p>\n

For the Nerazzurri, the formula is clear: optimism remains cautious, but the path to bringing Cancelo back to Milan appears more realistic than at any previous stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Confidence is growing at Inter Milan over the potential return of Joao Cancelo, with talks involving Al-Hilal entering…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[120878,1998,120882,120881,120876,120879,120880,85,120875,46,2727,105,120877],"class_list":["post-218707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-al-hilal","tag-barcelona","tag-blaugrana","tag-cagliari","tag-cancelo","tag-decisive-phase","tag-francesco-acerbi","tag-il","tag-inter-milan","tag-israel","tag-spain","tag-sports","tag-stefan-de-vrij"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
