Manchester United have made an initial offer for Porto’s Alex Telles, and the club values the left-back at around £ 12 million, as he can be signed without a fee on a pre-contract in January.
Telles’ current terms expire in the summer, so despite Porto wanting a fee of around £ 18 million for the Brazilian, United believe a deal close to the desired price can be made and have submitted a first official offer before the transfer window closes on October 5.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær wants the 27-year-old to provide competition for Luke Shaw as the coach looks to add more attacking threat from the winger. As the player is eager to make the move and the Portuguese club needs the potential funding generated by the transfer, there is confidence that the deal will be completed.
As the deadline for the market close is now just seven days away, United may also step up their search for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho. The German club wants around 120 million euros, while United’s valuation is well below this. It is understood that United have yet to submit a formal offer for the 20-year-old English forward.
