Alex Telles played last Saturday the friendly against Morocco that served as a tribute to the recently deceased Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, I consider the king of football of all time. Morocco took the game by a tight 2-1 in Tangier and the Brazilian is already in Seville, as Brazil had only set one game in this break.

The Sevilla left-back will meet his new coach this afternoon, to whom he already gave his blessing from the Brazilian camp on African lands, and he will get down to work to learn the concepts of the Basque. The one from Caxias do Sul can be one of the great beneficiaries of the arrival of Mendilibar, who will give up that defense of three central defenders that Sampaoli had been using and that due to the lack of troops forced the Brazilian full-back to act as an improvised central defender.

Back on the side, the player on loan from Manchester United will be able to develop his full offensive potential together with Marcos Acuña. In addition, the Brazilian also has a very special duel ahead of him, the one that will face his former United teammates in the Europa League quarterfinals, a tie that he will be able to play as confirmed by the English team.

On loan to Sevilla until the end of the season, Alex Telles has a contract with Manchester United until June 30, 2024, so United have confirmed what is an open secret through the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. Alex Telles will not continue in Sevilla when the season ends, because in his loan contract there is no fixed purchase option. Therefore, Alex Telles will return yes or yes to Manchester.

Is the future of Telles sentenced?

The Brazilian does not seem to have a place in Ten Hag's team, and with only one year left on his contract, everything indicates that Telles will leave again next summer. Fabrizio Romano informs that United will make a decision on the future of Telles in June or July at the latest, as they do not want to prolong the situation of their loanees in the English city.
