Manchester Joined loanee Alex Telles could supposedly join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr this late spring. The Brazilian left-back is also wanted by Galatasaray, according to Spanish publication AS (thanks to TalkSPORT), but he prefers Al-Nassr because of Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence there. The 30-year-old player joined Sevilla last summer on a season-long loan.
Telles hasn’t needed to battle to carve out playing opportunity in Jose Mendilibar’s side, having played multiple times across contests this season. Nonetheless, the Seville-based outfit will evidently not trigger the choice to sign him forever toward the finish of the time.
Erik Ten Witch’s marking of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord the previous summer implied Telles needed to pass on Old Trafford to figure out a playing opportunity somewhere else. Luke Shaw and the Dutch left-back are Ten Hag’s two first-team options at that position.
By mutual consent, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United in November and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al-Nassr as a player. Together with Telles, he played 21 games and scored two goals.
The previous Entomb Milan left-back agreement at Old Trafford lapsed in June 2024. It is impossible that he will actually want to push his direction up Ten Witch’s food chain at any point in the near future and a move somewhere else, particularly to Al-Nassr, would ensure playing time. For the Riyadh-based team, Telles would like the chance to start ahead of Ivory Coast international Ghislain Konan.
How has Cristiano Ronaldo fared at Al-Nassr after Manchester Joined move?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s time in Saudi Arabia has had its reasonable part of high points and low points. The Portugal symbol has recorded 12 helps and two objectives during his 15 appearances across rivalries for his new club. However, his team runs the risk of not winning any awards at the end of the season.
They have lost to them in the Saudi Super Cup and King’s Cup semi-finals under the captaincy of the former Manchester United forward. In neither of the two games, he scored or contributed. Al-Nassr’s fortunes in the Saudi Star Association have likewise endured a shot. They are three points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad, who also have a game in hand, with 56 points from 25 games.
They lost their league match against Al-Ittihad on March 9 by a score of 1-0, leaving them with just four points out of a possible nine. Cristiano Ronaldo has been rumored to be dissatisfied in Riyadh and has been linked to both Real Madrid and Sporting CP. However, it is being speculated that Ronaldo will not be returning to the Santiago Bernabeu as a player.
