The president of Inter Milan, Giuseppe Marotta, confirmed that the Nerazzurri are interested in João Cancelo's return. «We don’t have great needs and this market offers few opportunities. But, as we have problems with Denzel Dumfries' recovery, we want to see if the market can bring the opportunity to have a player who has these characteristics. It is an opportunity that we will explore. Let's see what happens, we are in an intermediate phase", said Marotta to DAZN's microphones, before the victory over Bologna (3-0). Despite the interest in the Portuguese international, the president of Inter left a warning and also commented on Al Hilal's intention to sign a central defender, namely Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij. “He has a contract that no Italian team could support. The situation is very particular. If we accept a trade, they want a central defender. When we enter into a negotiation, we evaluate what to do. Everything must be done to fix the right-back that is suffering due to Dumfries’ absence,” he added. Cancelo will have entered into a collision course with Simone Inzaghi, former coach of Inter. The 31-year-old full-back has played just six games for Al Hilal this season and is expected to be left out of the Saudi League squad for the second half of the season. The international press writes that Barcelona is also aware of this situation. Remember that Cancelo played for Inter in 2017/18, at the time on loan from Valencia.
