Al Nassr Terminates Alex Telles’ Contract With Immediate Effect

Al Nassr has terminated Alex Telles’ contract with immediate effect.

The former Manchester United and Porto defender only joined the Saudi Pro League side at the start of the 2023/24 season but is now available as a free agent.

The Saudi Pro League club signed the Brazilian full-back from Manchester United just one year ago.

Eager to relieve their payroll of the £135,000-per-week wages, Al Nassr has come to a mutual agreement to part ways with the 31-year-old player.

The 31-year-old made 44 appearances in his time at the club, including four so far this season. He also scored three goals for the club.

Posting a montage of the defender’s best clips on their official social media, Al Nassr paid tribute to the South American.

“Al Nassr can announce that the Brazilian star Alex Telles has left the Club by mutual agreement,” the club said on X. Thanks for everything, Alex.”

As reported by talkSPORT, FC Porto is among the early frontrunners to re-sign the full-back. With the Portuguese transfer window closing on Monday night, Telles, now a free agent, is not required to finalize any deal before the deadline.

However, despite being without a club and Manchester United reportedly on the lookout for a new left-back to help provide cover for the injury-stricken Luke Shaw, a return to Old Trafford is unlikely to materialize.

The Red Devils will target a young left-back next year with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson among Erik Ten Hag’s options.
