Just when it looked like Canelo vs. Jake Paul would be a done deal, Turki Alalshikh has now announced that Canelo has signed a four fight deal with Riyadh Season. The Ring Magazine, which was recently acquired by the Saudis is saying that Jake Paul won’t be Canelo’s opponent in May. It will likely be an easy cherry picked opponent and then he will fight Terence Crawford in September.

Right, it's a four fight deal,

Fight in Riyadh in May
Big fight in Las Vegas vs Terence Crawford in September
Big fight in Riyadh in February 2026
Big fight in Riyadh in October 2026

So now we can only speculate as who will he be fighting in that following date. Crawford's name has surface, so that's one, maybe Jake Paul next year, or perhaps David Benavidez. That's already three, so we don't know the fighter that he will be facing this May though.
