Al Nassr has just welcomed the next rookie in the summer of 2023. That is defender Alex Telles, a player who is no longer in MU’s personnel plan for the 2023/24 season. “Red Devils” earned £ 4 million from this deal, in addition to other terms that could help the red half of Manchester receive an additional £ 10 million.
Ronaldo helped Al Nassr successfully recruit Telles
On the homepage, the Old Trafford team sent a farewell message to the Argentina international: “Alex Telles has completed his move from Manchester United to Al Nassr. The 30-year-old full-back joined the Saudi Pro League team after 50 appearances for the club”.
According to the Mirror, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has an important voice in this deal. The former No. 7 of Old Trafford stands with Telles in the 2021/22 season before their future turns in different directions in the 2022/23 season.
Not stopping there, because the Al Nassr club is still working with MU in the Eric Bailly deal. It is expected that the “Red Devils” will earn 20 million pounds for the sale of the Ivory Coast midfielder. Both are subject to liquidation, so the presence of a rich team from Saudi Arabia is MU’s luck.
Journalist Nathan Ridley confirmed that Ronaldo directly called Bailly to invite the midfielder to the Saudi Pro League. CR7 shared with his juniors about life in Riyadh city, which also made Bailly doubt that he had made a final decision about the future.
It is believed that Ronaldo is also trying to bring David De Gea to Saudi Arabia. The Spanish goalkeeper is looking to repatriate, after not being extended by MU.
De Gea will be the next mission of “super stork” Ronaldo?
However, Barca and Real are both settled in the wooden frame, while the old team Atletico Madrid does not seem to want to sell Jan Oblak. With clubs at a lower level, De Gea clearly does not want to play.
Therefore, Al Nassr came with 2 offers. It is possible that De Gea has not yet accepted the fact that he will have to leave the top of European football before turning 33. But in the coming days, when Ronaldo directly plays the negotiator, it is entirely possible that the goalkeeper will agree to join Al Nassr.
