Barcelona have secured the return of João Cancelo to the club for a third time, completing his signing as a free agent following the termination of his contract with Al Hilal.

The versatile full-back is no stranger to the Camp Nou setup, having previously represented the Catalan side on two separate occasions. His latest arrival costs the club nothing in transfer fees, making it an attractive piece of business for Barcelona's recruitment team.

Cancelo's departure from Al Hilal brings to a close his stint in Saudi Arabia, and the experienced defender now returns to familiar surroundings in Spain. The move reunites him with a Barcelona side that has shown faith in the Portuguese international on multiple occasions.
