João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo (born 27 May 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays primarily as a full-back for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Portugal national team. He is often regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world.
After coming through Benfica's youth academy, Cancelo began playing for the club's reserve team in 2012 and was promoted to the first team two years later. He was subsequently loaned to La Liga club Valencia during the 2014–15 season, before the move was made permanent in 2015. Cancelo was on loan to Serie A team Inter Milan during the 2017–18 season, in which he was included in Serie A's Team of the Year. Cancelo's performances sparked the interest of Italian rivals Juventus, who signed him in 2018 for a reported fee of €40.4 million. During his stint with Juventus, Cancelo won the league and the Supercoppa Italiana in his first and only season.
In 2019, Cancelo was signed by Premier League club Manchester City. He has since won three Premier League titles and the EFL Cup with the club. In the 2020–21 season, he played a significant role in Manchester City reaching their first UEFA Champions League final.
