If Porto could eventually sanction the sale of their most prized asset, that means they must look out for other viable options to fill the void. Alex Telles has been instrumental to the team and his pin point crosses is what makes him standout.  It remains to be seen if Porto will allow him leave for Manchester.

Renowned football journalist, Fabrizio Romano has given Manchester United fans a glimmer of hope in their pursuit for Alex Telles. He explained that there are those who are convinced an agreement can be reached. It is understood that  the talented Brazilian has already agreed to join United and the only hold up is with his Portuguese club.

The 27-year-old midfielder has previously played in Turkey with Galatasaray, and in Italy on loan with Inter Milan.
