Former Manchester United defender Alex Telles has departed Al Nassr by mutual consent - just one year after he joined the Saudi side from Manchester United.
The 31-year-old made the move to the Middle East last summer for a £4 million transfer fee, ending his three-year stint at Old Trafford.

The pair went on to win the Arab Club Champions Cup, with Telles becoming a regular starter for Al Nassr.Even though Telles participated in both of the club's opening Saudi Pro League games this season, he and Al Nassr have mutually decided to part ways, removing his reported £135,000-a-week salary from their books.
The Brazilian earned over £7 million during his one-year stint, and now he's set to embark on a new chapter., Telles joined Manchester United in 2020 for £15 million after a standout season with Porto, where he scored 13 goals across all competitions.He was brought in to compete with Luke Shaw for the starting left-back position, but Shaw's exceptional form limited Telles to just nine Premier League appearances.Viginia Akinyi is the current import editor at Briefly News.
