According to 'The Athletic', Manchester United defender Alex Telles will leave Europe for Saudi Arabia, where he will join Al-Nassr. There he will reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, three years after the two played together for a season at Old Trafford. He will also join Lens midfielder, Seko Fofana who was announced on Tuesday.

Al-Nassr aren't slowing down this summer. Having already signed Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan earlier in July, the Saudi club have now announced the arrival of Lens midfielder, Seko Fofana, who has signed a three-year deal on a €25 million transfer.

But that's not all. Cristiano Ronaldo is getting lots of new friends to play with this summer, with reports of a former teammate on his way to join the Portuguese superstar.

According to 'The Athletic' Man United's Alex Telles is close to his own move to Al-Nassr, the two clubs in talks over the move. Journalist and transfer specialist, Fabrizio Romano, separately reports there is a verbal agreement in place between the two clubs with documents being checked on Tuesday.

The Brazilian spent last season on loan at Sevilla, where he won the Europa League, but clearly he can't count on a place at Old Trafford and will instead join his 2020-21 United teammate in the Saudi Pro-League.
