Al Hilal have suffered a major blow as Cancelo has canceled his contract with the club after just one season.
The Portuguese defender joined the Saudi side in January last year and made a positive impact on the team, scoring two goals and contributing to their league title win.
However, Cancelo's decision to leave the club comes as a surprise given his strong performances for Al Hilal.
In a statement released by the club, they expressed disappointment that Cancelo had chosen to leave but praised him for his contribution to the team.
"We would like to thank Cancelo for his efforts during his time at Al Hilal," said the club's president, "but we understand his decision to move on."
Cancelo's departure is a significant loss for Al Hilal,Saudi Pro League Highlights who will now look to find a replacement for the player.
The club's manager, Jassim al-Husseini, said: "We wish Cancelo all the best in his future endeavors and hope he will continue to bring success to other clubs."
Cancelo's departure also means that Al Hilal will be without a top-level foreign player this season, something that could affect their chances of winning the league title.
Despite Cancelo's departure, Al Hilal remain hopeful of securing a successful campaign this season.
They have a strong squad and plenty of talent, so it remains to be seen how they will perform under new management.
