‘I love Barcelona' – Al-Hilal star reveals Blaugrana affection after Real Madrid draw
Former Barcelona star João Cancelo was quick to reiterate his undying love for the Blaugrana, late on Wednesday night. This came after the Portuguese international played his part in Al-Hilal's meeting with Barca's arch rivals, Real Madrid. Advertisement Xabi Alonso's Real kicked their campaign at the Club World Cup into gear yesterday evening, in a group stage meeting with Saudi outfit Al-Hilal. When all was said and done, the spoils were shared between the sides, owing to a hard-fought 1-1 draw. The aforementioned Cancelo, meanwhile, featured from the off at the Hard Rock Stadium, from his customary berth at right-back. Speaking to the media post-match, the subject of his Barcelona past, in turn, was inevitably put to the 31-year-old. And Cancelo made use of the opportunity to make crystal clear his ongoing 'love' for the Spanish champions: 'I am just another Barça fan. I love them. I loved the time I spent at Barcelona. I love the Barça squad.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Bruno Fernandes enjoys dinner with Al-Hilal ‘secret agent' Joao Cancelo as he faces Man Utd exit decision
FANS reckon Bruno Fernandes is "leaving breadcrumbs" as clues after the Manchester United skipper dined with Al-Hilal "secret agent" Joao Cancelo. Fernandes' agent has already held "productive" talks with the Saudis as they press for a £100million transfer. 6 Bruno Fernandes and Joao Cancelo looked to have a great night Credit: 6 Cancelo received a cake during his birthday week Credit: 6 The Portugal team-mates were in a fun mood Credit: 6 Cancelo shared this pic, suggesting he is happy with life at Al-Hilal And now the Red Devils' star midfielder, 30, has met with Al-Hilal's former Manchester City full-back Cancelo. A clip of the Portugal pals at a group meal in a restaurant, has sent speculation soaring that a deal could be sorted within days. Cancelo was 31 last Tuesday - and a birthday cake with blazing candles was presented to him at the eatery. An X account for Al-Hilal fans shared a video from the meal - and cheekily suggested Cancelo was trying to talk the Red Devils hero into moving. The post read: "Bruno Fernandes with Cancelo today... Can Cancelo do it? " One fan responded: "Yes, it's his Portugal teammate but given all the rumours and all the speculation about his future this can't be a pure coincidence. "Of course they discussed his possible move to Al-Hilal. Bruno is leaving breadcrumbs for us. First the quote yesterday now this." That "quote" is thought to be a mysterious message Fernandes posted on his Instagram story. 6 Fernandes is likely to decide his future over the next few days Credit: PA BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Its English translation was: "If you tried and failed, congratulations! There are people who don't even try." Some fans believe "in the context" of Al-Hilal's interest, those words means Fernandes WILL be leaving Old Trafford. 'Players are not acting in the right manner' - David Beckham slams Man Utd stars' behaviour after fans clashes on tour But nothing is certain yet. And when the dining clip went up on social media, a few observers warned against reading too much into it. One wrote: "Friends go out for dinner together." And another added: "They are international teammates enjoying off season." A third posted: "So this video could mean nothing or it could be everything." And although some viewers pointed out it was Cancelo's birthday week, they also felt it was inevitable a Fernandes transfer was one topic. Such verdicts included: "One can be certain that Bruno considering Al Hilal's offer means talking to all his Portuguese buddies in Saudi to assess opinions on things like the standard of the game, his support system if he goes there etc. "

João Cancelo reveals personalised gift from Barcelona
Former Barcelona star João Cancelo has this weekend unveiled a video, showcasing a gift sent his way by the Blaugrana brass. Defender Cancelo of course spent the 2023/24 campaign plying his trade in Catalunya's capital. Advertisement Under the watch of then-manager Xavi, the Portuguese played a leading role, racking up four goals and five assists in 42 appearances across all competitions. In the end, as much did not prove quite enough to convince Deco and co. to make his signing a permanent one, with Manchester City having been demanding a premium fee for their versatile full-back. As alluded to above, though, relations between club and player evidently nevertheless remain in a good place. Taking to his official Instagram account this weekend, Cancelo unveiled a video of the unboxing of a personal gift sent his way by Barcelona. Advertisement The offering in question came in the form of a limited edition Travis Scott 'Cactus Jack' jersey, worn during last weekend's El Clásico. Also featuring on the shirt are the name and number of the Al-Hilal star. Check out the clip in question below: Conor Laird – GSFN
