Alex Telles Joins Sevilla on Season-Long Loan from Manchester United
In the 2022/23 season, Manchester United have officially loaned Brazilian left-back Alex Telles to Sevilla for one season, with no option to buy included in the deal.
The Spanish club confirmed that Telles’ arrival comes without a loan fee, though Sevilla will cover the full cost of his wages throughout the loan spell, a gesture seen as mutually beneficial between the two clubs.
No-strings-attached Loan Deal
Telles, 29, traveled to Spain for his medical after being informed he was not part of new manager Erik ten Hag’s core plans.
With the arrival of Tyrell Malacia and the versatility of Lisandro Martinez, competition for Luke Shaw’s position has increased significantly.
The loan move gives Telles a fresh opportunity to feature regularly, especially with Sevilla aiming to strengthen their backline after the departure of Jules Koundé to Barcelona.
A Fresh Start in La Liga
Alex Telles joined Manchester United from FC Porto in 2020 for £15.8 million.
Though he was featured in 26 matches last season and even scored in a pre-season game against Wrexham, consistent game time has remained elusive.
Sevilla, who maintain a strong relationship with United, believe Telles can make a real impact in La Liga this season.
Reports suggest they may also be considering United defender Eric Bailly as part of their continued rebuild.
