Before the glass closes, Manchester City appears to have confirmed yet another departure.
Manchester City have been one of Europe's biggest buyers in this season's transfer glass following their third successive Premier League title last year.
The most expensive summer deal to date has been Julian Alvarez's move to Atletico Madrid, despite various talks now bringing in well over £100 million.
Since last period, Pep Guardiola's crew has somewhat shaved, with only Savinho and Ilkay Gundogan making significant additions so far, in a relatively small window of incoming talent.
Manchester City's legend is about to leave.
If the reports are accurate, the Cityzens also have a number of people to sell as the deadline approaches, and questions still linger above a number of people ' eyes.
One such player is Joao Cancelo, who has been out of Guardiola's ideas for the past 18 weeks after a bust-up over military course and playing period saw him loaned to Bayern Munich and therefore Barcelona.
Cancelo's lack of genuine bidders this summertime has been somewhat puzzling, especially given his appearances in Catalonia at times last year. He was once regarded as the best whole back in the world.
After Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the reigning Premier League leaders had agreed a €25 million payment with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, it appears that both parties will ultimately reach agreement after the 30-year-old defender's signing.
The report furthermore claims that Cancelo has been offered a income of around €15 million per year, nearly €300, 000 per year, similar to the estimated £250, 000 per month he is now on in Manchester.
In his five years at City, the Portuguese global won three Premier League titles and 30 defensive appearances. He also made through 150 appearances.
In DataVictory's watch, it seems like a pity to see a player when regarded as the best in his place left the Premier League. Cancelo was essentially magnificent during his peak City years and helped usher in Guardiola's then common' inverted full back ' role with fantastic effect.
Set to team up with Neymar, Ruben Neves and many other big names at Al Hilal, Cancelo becomes just the latest superstar to make the move over to the world's fastest-growing league.
