OFFICIAL: Alex Telles joins Sevilla on loan

Brazilian left-back Alex Nicolao Telles from Manchester United arrived in Seville on Wednesday evening to undergo a medical and join the Sevilla squad on a season-long loan deal, which could also be strengthened in the coming hours with the addition of Danish centre-back Victor Nelsson.

After getting to know the facilities of the Andalusian club, his signing was announced via a video in which, after different shots, he appears in the stands of the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium saying the following words: "I'm already at the stadium, see you soon. A hug. In a later publication, it was revealed that he will wear the number 3.

The agreement has been signed on a season-long loan. The Red Devils will pay part of his fee, something that was essential for the negotiation to come to fruition. 

The Brazilian made the leap to professional football in the 2013-14 season, when he moved from Gremio to Galatasaray. He spent half a season at Inter Milan before joining Porto. There he established himself as one of the top full-backs of the moment, which earned him a move to Old Trafford.

Alex Telles, 29, capped six times at full international level, is the second signing for a Sevilla defence already bolstered by compatriot Marcos Teixeira 'Marcao', a centre-back from Galatasaray who will make up for the departures of transfer targets Diego Carlos da Silva and Jules Kounde.

Once the deal was made official, he left the following message on his Twitter account dedicated to the Mancunian fans: "To everyone at United: colleagues, staff, fans. I will be supporting and cheering for the whole season. Thank you for the moments so far.
