Alex Telles is enjoying his start to life at Al Nassr. The former Manchester United man joined the club after a loan spell at Sevilla. His arrival was one among an influx of transfers that included Sadio Mane, and Marcelo Brozovic. Things on the pitch are going well for both Telles and Al Nassr. Alex Telles is not alone in the Middle East as he is accompanied by his wife Vitoria Schneider. Vitoria is a music composer who doubles up as a social media influencer. The couple looks set to celebrate their first Christmas in Saudi Arabia. Judging from social media. Vitoria already seems to have started preparations for the occasion.

Telles made headlines when he joined Manchester United in 2023. However, game time was irregular and he made just 30 appearances in 3 years for the Red Devils. However, at Al Nassr, he is enjoying a much more prominent role. Coach Luis Castro has placed his faith in the dynamic left back who is an undisputed starter when fit. A new beginning for a career that looked like never reaching its potential.

Vitoria Schneider seems to be a big Al Nassr supporter as she attends matches regularly. The multi-talented lady is also quite a presence on social media. Recently, she posted a story that generated quite an engagement among her followers. It was regarding a ‘tip’ for Christmas. The caption read ‘I need a tip! Does anyone know where he sells “Christmas tree” here in Riyadh?’ This a very valid question considering they are not native citizens of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has restrictions on materials related to religions other than Islam. Symbols of different faiths like Christmas Trees cannot be sold in stores. This will make Vitoria’s quest for a Christmas tree rather challenging. On the bright side, husband Alex Telles is quite a ‘wanted man’. That’s certainly the opinion of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s request to Telles

Alex Telles certainly has a lot to thank Cristiano Ronaldo for his move to Al Nassr. The two played together at Manchester United and for the Portugal National Team. In fact, it was the Legendary Soccer Icon who convinced Telles to make the move to the SPL.
