Alex Telles faces uncertain future as Al-Nassr consider selling defender

Alex Telles could leave Al-Nassr before the summer transfer deadline, according to reports.

The Brazilian defender, who previously played for Manchester United, signed a two-year contract with the Saudi club last summer.

Although he has 12 months left on his contract, the 31-year-old player is a candidate to leave the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium.

According to a recent report from football transfer journalist Rudy Galetti, Telles could be sold off as 62-year-old Portuguese manager Luis Castro looks to sign a new left-back from abroad.

Presumably to free up space to register another foreign signing, Al-Nassr could sacrifice their number 15 and sanction his return to European football. Which clubs are interested in signing the deadball specialist is still unknown, however.

Al-Nassr have already sold ten first-team players this summer, including experienced goalkeeper David Ospina and midfielder Seko Fofana (on loan at Al-Ettifaq).
