Brazilian football player Alex Telles could join Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr side. According to the Spanish newspaper ‘As’, the Saudi club would be interested in the player, currently on loan in Sevilla, who will not continue with the Spanish club for the next season. Al Nassr bosses are reportedly ready to pay his full salary which would have been a factor for the Brazilian’s exit of Sevilla.

The 30-year-old footballer currently belongs to Manchester United, where he played with Ronaldo last season. He has a contract with the Red Devils until June 2024, but if he chooses to play in Saudi Arabia it could jeopardize his chances of being selected for the Brazil national team.

If Telles were to join Al Nassr, he would play for a side that have just won the Saudi Professional League and qualified for the AFC Champions League.

However, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United would be willing to let Telles leave after just one season and whether the player himself would be open to such a move.

On loan at Sevilla this season, Alex Telles has played 31 games and provided three assists.
