Man Utd outcast Alex Telles completes transfer to Saudi side Al Nassr to seal reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo
Sponsored by
ALEX TELLES has left Manchester United to sign for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
He links back up with Cristiano Ronaldo after finding himself surplus to requirements under Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag cast Telles out of his squad after taking over last year, with the left-back joining Sevilla on loan for the season.
The 30-year-old made 38 appearances for the Spanish club and helped them win the Europa League.
But he is now set for a very different challenge after finalising a transfer to Al-Nassr.
It is believed Telles will earn £7million a year at the Saudi outfit, with Al Nassr paying United £4m for his services.

Ten Hag has been trying to offload fringe players in an attempt to build transfer funds, and Telles was an obvious option given his last appearance came in the last game of the 2021-22 season.
He could be joined at Al-Nassr by another forgotten man at United, Eric Bailly, who is in England training on his own.
Bailly came to United from Villarreal for £30million but never really established himself in the side after a promising first season due to injuries.
The defender is not expected to command a fee.

He has not played for United since December 2021 and spent last season on loan in Marseille.
The Red Devils could also raise funds by selling both Dean Henderson and Anthony Elanga to Nottingham Forest.
Goalkeeper Henderson would cost £30million with winger Elanga costing £15million.
