  • Alex Telles' spell at Manchester United is close to coming to an end
  • The Brazil international is in line to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi club Al Nassr
  • Telles spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Sevilla after he fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford

Manchester United left-back Alex Telles has reportedly sealed a summer move to Saudi side Al Nassr.

Telles has been the subject of transfer speculation for some time after he fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian star spent the 2022/23 campaign with Sevilla on loan, where he helped the La Liga giants lift the Europa League title.

The 30-year-old was among the players who recently returned to Man United after their loan spells expired.

However, he failed to make Erik ten Hag's squad for the pre-season in what was the clearest sign he would be offloaded this summer.

Alex Telles set for Al Nassr

Goal reports that Telles is now on the verge of reuniting with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr.

According to the publication, the Saudi Pro League club landed the left-back for a bargain £4 million.

The development has since been confirmed by transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, who disclosed that the deal is all but done.

"Alex Telles to Al Nassr, done deal and here we go! Agreement ready after deal revealed earlier today," he tweeted.
"Understand Manchester United will receive £4m fixed fee plus add-ons. Told salary will be 7m net per season plus add-ons," he added.

Former Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed Telles during the summer of 2020.

Ronaldo speaks on European return

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cristiano Ronaldo has made his feelings clear about a possible return to European football.

The football icon's long streak playing in Europe came to an end during the January transfer window after his acrimonious exit from Manchester United.

Ronaldo was axed by the Red Devils with months left on his contract following his controversial interview with British journalist Piers Morgan in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup.
