Al Hilal, the Saudi Arabian football club, has confirmed that their star defender, João Cancelo, will be staying at the club for another season.
The announcement comes after months of speculation and negotiations between Al Hilal and Cancelo's representatives. The Portuguese defender had been linked with several European clubs in recent months, but he ultimately decided to remain at his current club.

Cancelo is not the only player who has signed a new contract with Al Hilal recently. The club has also announced that they have extended contracts with several other players, including midfielder Ahmed El Shennawy and goalkeeper Yasser Al-Khelaifi.
The news of Cancelo's renewed contract is likely to be welcomed by many fans of Al Hilal, who have enjoyed watching him perform on the pitch. With Cancelo in the squad, the club can expect to maintain their strong defense and compete in the league and cup competitions.
Overall, the renewal of Cancelo's contract is a positive development for Al Hilal and their supporters. It shows that the club values its star player and is committed to keeping him at the club for the long term.
