It seems Al Nassr is also looking to bolster its ranks. After midfield, the defense has become a priority for the Jeddah-based club. In fact, they seem to have found their man for the back line. Apparently, the Jeddah-based club has struck a deal with Ronaldo’s former Manchester United teammate, Alex Telles.

As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the defender will be linking up with his club’s former No. 7 at Riyad. “There’s verbal agreement now in place between the two clubs, waiting for the documents/check details,” says Romano. The Brazilian is the latest addition to the list of renowned superstars. Interestingly, Romano also hinted about the possible arrival of Ivory Coast forward Seko Fofana.

Al Nassr wants to bring both Fofana and Telles in the upcoming days. Be that as it may, it is indeed a big move from the Riyadh-based club. Just recently, the club got banned by FIFA from making new additions to the squad after failing to make necessary payments to Leicester City over Ahmed Musa’s 2018 transfer.

However, it seems that conundrum has been put to bed as they seemingly poach new players from Europe. And it seems that Telles is the new man in town. But is he a good signing?

Is Alex Telles a good signing for Al Nassr?

During his initial period at Manchester United, Telles showcased his attacking prowess and delivered exceptional performances. His ability to provide an additional attacking option from the left flank with accurate crosses and creativity in creating scoring opportunities. However, the player soon fell down United’s pecking order as Luke Shaw was picked ahead of him. Subsequently, he went on a loan spell to La Liga side Seville but eventually returned.

Moreover, he will be looking to link up with his former United teammate and pave the way to greatness for Al Nassr.
