Alex Telles’ £4million move from Manchester United to Al-Nassr is back on despite concerns it may have fallen through.
The deal had been agreed between United and the Saudi Arabian club, and Telles even posed in an Al-Nassr shirt after agreeing personal terms of £7m-a-year.
But there was speculation in the Middle East that Al-Nassr had walked away from the deal and were looking at other left-back options.
However, it’s understood that Telles is still set to make a move to the Saudi Pro League with United expecting the move to go ahead.
Telles was a £15.4m signing from FC Porto in 2020 and made 50 appearances across two years before spending last season on loan at Sevilla.
The 30-year-old Brazilian has fallen behind Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia in Erik ten Hag’s plans and needed a fresh start.
Telles will join his old United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and a number of other Premier League players who have moved to the Middle East.
United defender Eric Bailly is also said to be attracting interest from Saudi Arabia as he seeks a new club.
The Ivory Coast defender has no future at Old Trafford and has stayed in England to train while the rest of the squad flew out to the US on a pre-season trip.
Dean Henderson and Anthony Elanga are both on the trip despite attracting strong interest from Nottingham Forest.

when it's other clubs they pay big fee cos it's united it's 4mil for a player as good as telles who is worth at least 20mil and some suadi team paid 12mil for Henderson you can imagine when we sell we sell below valuation when we want to buy it's double the previous fee Rasmus for 70-80mil if it's another team it's 40mil higher...mount for 60mil when he is not worth up 50mil and 27mil onana who is not worth more than 30mil for 55mil they're milking our club for real💯

Tevez went to China and some players followed but it wasn't Tevez effect but now since Ronaldo was the first to chase oil money, any player that goes there is Ronaldo's effect. if it can make his fan base sleep well then it's okay

Thank you Telles for being part of Manchester united, you will be remember for three things 1. your goal against Villa real in the champion league 2. for helping Luke shaw to bounce back. 3. for helping us fund the transfer of a proven goal scorer. little is much when it can add to get a goal scorer.
