Al Nassr thanks Telles
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.
Al Nassr honoured his contributions by sharing a clip of his best moments at the club, accompanied by a brief statement.
"Al Nassr can announce that the Brazilian star Alex Telles has left the Club by mutual agreement.
"Thanks for everything, Alex."
How Telles fared at United
Per Talk Sport, 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.
