Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team in Saudi Arabia, may be signing another Brazilian player. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the club is negotiating with Manchester United to bring in left-back Alex Telles.
Negotiations were already advanced, with a verbal agreement reached between the two teams. To count on the 30-year-old player, the Saudis would pay a financial compensation to United, as the athlete still has a year left on his contract with the English.

If the transfer materializes, Telles would join Brazilian Anderson Talisca at Al-Nassr. This would be the second reinforcement of the club in the window, which also brought midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and is negotiating with midfielder Seko Fofana, from Lens.
Telles arrived at United in 2020 after a good spell at Porto. Hired to be a shadow for Luke Shaw, the Brazilian did not perform as expected in Manchester and was loaned to Sevilla last season.
For the Spanish club, Telles played in 38 games and distributed three assists. The defender helped the Andalusian team to win the Europa League once again and was also summoned by coach Tite to play in the 2022 World Cup for Brazil.
