Flamengo linked with surprise move for Manchester United left-back Alex Telles

Manchester United’s sidelined player, Alex Telles, has caught the attention of Brazilian club Flamengo, sparking their interest in acquiring his services.

The English club had secured a deal with Telles on 5th October 2020, for a reported fee of £15.4 million. During his time at Manchester United, Telles made 30 appearances for the club. His market value, as estimated by Transfermarkt, currently stands at €7.5 million.

Telles, who spent the previous season on loan at Sevilla, seems likely to bid farewell to European football this summer.

During his loan spell at Sevilla, Telles showcased his abilities in 27 matches, garnering valuable experience.

According to The Mirror, Flamengo is keen to bring Telles back to his home country, Brazil, with the prospect of him becoming a regular starter in their first team.

At Manchester United, Telles faces stiff competition for the left-back position, contending with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Brandon Williams, and Alvaro Fernandez.
