Telles signed for Man United in 2020 from Porto but was never able to win the left-back position from Luke Shaw. The Brazilian was loaned out last season to Sevilla but has now opted to move to Saudi like many others this summer.
As for United, the Red Devils will look to use the money from the sale of Telles and others to strengthen their squad as Erik ten Hag is still on the lookout for a new striker before the new campaign kicks off.
“In a year the Saudi league will overtake the Turkish league and Dutch league.” Says Ronaldo. Players whose ambitions have been achieved and are in the twilight of their careers are the ones heading to the Saudi League, NOT those with ambition, the young up and coming talents, those in their prime. Like the American League it is a last hurrah and big pay day. Neither can offer the competition that playing in Europe offers including the Turkish and Dutch Leagues. Ronaldo often disengages his brain from his mouth.
This comment has nothing to do with the article. What is your point?
The fact is ..telles is way better than malaicha…jus that the coach doesn’t like him …Alex is the best on that position..
£4m for a 30 y/o worth £7.5m when city are getting £33m for a 32 y/o worth £20m and Pool are getting £12m for a 33 y/o worth £10m shows we’re getting mugged off again.
I’m not interested
Manchester united don’t know how to do business, they buy players at ahigher price and sell them at a give away price.
Cool
The club doesn’t have good negotiators.
