Man Utd agree £13.5m deal for Porto left-back Alex Telles

Manchester United have agreed a deal with FC Porto to sign Alex Telles for a fee believed to be £13.5million, plus a further £1.8m in potential add-ons.

The Red Devils have signed the Brazilian full-back on a four-year contract with the option of an additional year.

The Brazilian is now understood to discuss personal terms and finalise the deal, which should be completed on transfer deadline day.

Telles may not be the only addition on Monday with UnOle Gunnar Solskjaer’s side also reportedly closing in on a deal for Edinson Cavani, who is a free agent since leaving Paris St Germain in June.
