Alex Telles’ move from Manchester United to Al Nassr looks to be back on track despite reports that it had fallen through.
The deal had been agreed between United and the Saudi Arabian club earlier this week, with Telles set to be reunited with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle East.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared the news on Wednesday, claiming a deal worth £4 million had been agreed between both clubs.
“Alex Telles to Al Nassr, done deal and here we go! Agreement ready after deal revealed earlier today," Romano tweeted. "Understand Manchester United will receive £4m fixed fee plus add-ons.“Told salary will be 7m net per season plus add-ons.”
However, there there was speculation in Saudi Arabia that Al-Nassr had walked away from the deal and were considering other options at left-back.
It would appear that the deal is back on track now though, with all parties expecting the move to go ahead.
That's according to the Daily Mail, who state that Telles is "set to make a move to the Saudi Pro League with United expecting the move to go ahead."The full-back made 50 appearances for the Red Devils after signing for the club in 2015 from Porto in a deal worth a reported £15.4 million.
However, he was shipped out on loan to Sevilla after two seasons and has failed to make an impression under Erik ten Hag, with his career at Old Trafford seemingly over.
But one of Telles’ more memorable moments at the club came last May, when when he was involved in a training ground bust-up with youngster Hannibal Mejbri during Ralf Rangnick's tumultuous reign - an incident which the Sun claimed left the rest of the United squad “stunned”.
Telles may be joined by United defender Eric Bailly who has reportedly been approached by Al Nassr this week.
