Alex Telles close to swapping Manchester United for Al-Nassr

Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement to sell Alex Telles to Al-Nassr, the PA news agency understands.

Telles moved to Old Trafford from Porto in October 2020 but has been unable to usurp first-choice left-back Luke Shaw.

Tyrell Malacia's arrival saw Telles fall further down the pecking order and led him to spend the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Sevilla, where he won the Europa League.

United had always been keen to sell the Brazil international upon his return and a move to Saudi Arabia is now on the cards.

PA understands talks with Al Nassr - home of former United star Cristiano Ronaldo - are progressing as a deal for around four million euros (£3.4m) edges closer.
