Last season, Telles was on loan at La Liga’s Sevilla, where he secured the Europa League title.
Alex Telles, Brazil’s defensive talent, has officially left Manchester United for a permanent move to Al-Nassr.
At 30, Telles is preparing to rejoin Cristiano Ronaldo, his former teammate from United who transitioned to the Saudi Pro League team earlier this year in January.
The financial details surrounding his transfer, as well as the duration of his new contract, remain undisclosed by both clubs.
Telles, previously signed from Porto for £13.6m in 2020, made a total of 50 appearances for United as a left-back. However, he spent his last season on loan at Sevilla.
There’s been much buzz around the Saudi Pro League this summer as it drew big names such as French forward Karim Benzema, joining Ronaldo’s side. Telles is now part of the influx of Premier League talent into the Saudi Pro League, following others like Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante and Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian player, who boasts 12 international caps and two World Cup 2022 appearances in Qatar, used to vie with England’s Luke Shaw for the left-back position at Old Trafford.
After finding limited opportunities in the first-team, Telles was loaned out to Sevilla where he made 38 appearances. He notably started in their Europa League final victory over Roma, which was determined by a penalty shootout.
Manchester United acknowledged Telles’ departure in a statement on their official website, expressing gratitude for his contributions over the last three years and extending well wishes for his future.
