Deal CLOSE: Porto manager concedes Manchester United target could leave

Porto manager Sergio Conceicao has proposed that Alex Telles could leave the Portuguese club before this current summer’s transfer window closes for business.

Manchester United have been unequivocally connected with a move for Alex Telles, and an ongoing report guaranteed that the Red Devils had already agreed personal terms with the left-back.

The Brazilian scored twice in Porto’s 3-1 win over Braga in the league on Saturday, but Sergio Conceicao has conceded that Alex Telles could be on his way out of the club amid ongoing speculation.

I don’t consider it, Sergio Conceicao informed correspondents when approached concerning a potential exit for Alex Telles. The market isn’t about me. I am not a manager, I am a coach and I need to train the players I have. Clearly I might want to depend on everybody and if that another player comes in, I would not be angry with all.

I should praise and emphasise Alex Telles’s professionalism. It is difficult with this news to play the game he played today. I know the character and character of the players and I realize that until the most recent day, be it tomorrow or year’s from now, they will put forth a valiant effort.

Alex Telles, who has also been connected with Paris Saint-Germain, scored multiple times and registered 12 assists in 49 appearances for Porto during the 2019-20 season.
