Brazilian international left-back, Alex Telles has joined Laliga side, Sevilla on loan for the rest of 2022/2023 season.
The 29-year-old joined the Reds from FC Porto in October 2020, and he has registered 50 appearances in two campaigns while competing with Luke Shaw for the left-back position.
Manchester United confrimed the loaning of the Brazilian defender in a statement released on their official website.
Manchester United noted that, “The signing of young defender Tyrell Malacia earlier this summer has only increased the competition for places in his position.”
It reads, “Manchester United defender and Brazil international Alex Telles has agreed to spend the 2022/23 season on loan with Sevilla in Spain.
Telles is set to join a Sevilla side that finished fourth in La Liga last season and is managed by former Spain coach Julen Lopetegui, who notably had Anthony Martial for a temporary spell earlier this year.
The signing of young defender Tyrell Malacia earlier this summer has only increased the competition for places in his position.
This move will enable Alex to play in a sixth country after starting his career with Juventude and Gremio in his native Brazil, before moving to Galatasaray in Turkey, Internazionale in Italy, Porto in Portugal and, of course, United in England.”
