Not David De Gea .. Al-Nassr concludes a surprising deal with Manchester United

There has been talk for weeks about Saudi club Al-Nassr’s interest in signing Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, but Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano blew a big surprise when he confirmed that the two clubs had reached an agreement about another player entirely.

Romano revealed on Twitter that Al-Nassr and United had reached an agreement regarding the transfer of Brazilian Alex Telles, defender of the English team, to his Saudi counterpart, indicating that this agreement was verbal and awaiting the exchange of papers to sign the deal.

The 30-year-old left-back has been playing with United since the summer of 2020, but he spent the last season on loan with Seville, and he played 38 matches with him in all competitions, during which he made 3 goals.

Romano made it clear that Al-Nassr expects Telles, along with Seko Fofana, who conducted medical examinations yesterday, to join his camp in Portugal within the next few days.

For his part, journalist Nyoko Shira confirmed that Telles will sign a contract with Al-Nassr that extends until 2026, according to which he will receive an annual salary of 12 million euros.

The deal seems completely surprising, especially with Gislan Konan being with Al-Nassr and presenting him for an excellent season in 2022-2023, which is a sign of the intention to abandon the Ivorian defender, or Telles may be used in other positions such as right-back, left-wing and left-midfielder, as he had previously played in them. but not too much.
