No mention of the fee but Romano says there will be a fee.

 

[JB08]

No chance it's a large fee imo.

Also, didn't Al Nassr have a ban on registering new players, or am I confusing them with another club?

 

[James35]

Why would he even be free anyway?

Yeah but it was over about £370k they owed Leicester so nothing that they'd have to actually worry about

Well unless they pay it then it is a problem

 

[Samid]

£20m please.

Or £15m and they can have Bailly too.

 

[top1whoisman]

Why would he even be free anyway?

Because we want to get rid of his wages. Normally a Brazil regular left-back would be worth much more than the €10m I’ve seen mentioned as a fee, but we’re desperate to get rid of him and buying clubs know that.

 

[Erictheking7]

We are receiving actual money for one of our dead weights .................. things are looking up

 

[WeePat]

Dodgy business. This needs to be investigated

 

[Plastic Evra]

The fee : Large parcel delivery + VAT and customs Manchester to Riyadh.

 

[JoeyJoJoJrShabadoo]

The talk is with add ons it could reach £15 mill but I refuse to believe it

If its anything like the ban Barcelona got a few years back, then they could still buy players. They just couldn't be registered in the squad. Assuming the ban will be sorted soon, then it makes sense for them to continue their transfer business.

I understand we pay stupid wages but surely we would want some money, I’m not suggesting it would be much but it would be terrible business not getting anything for him, especially from a team/league throwing money away for fun this window.

Plus he is hardly one of our highest earners. Just thought the tweet reads as a bit of sensationalism to me.

It would be utterly insane if we broke even on him.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

My lasting memory of him will be him putting "I asked myself if this was a good season" onto social media after the Rangnick debacle

 

[Conor]

People keep going on about Telles like he's on huge wages, is he not on like 80k or something.

 

[Woziak]

The wages reported for Alex Teles is €12m per year let that sink in Tax Free £196,000 per week for A Teles wow we are getting at least £10/12m if that’s the case ?

 

[Woziak]

People keep going on about Telles like he's on huge wages, is he not on like 80k or something.

He’s on about 80/90k so it’s good business all round

 

[Mainoldo]

As long as we get his book value. Good deal.

 

[-Supreme-]

If we managed to get a decent fee for him, this will no doubt aid our future transfer budget with the likes of Varane and Casemiro, it’d turn out to be a great investment particularly for Casemiro if we can still recover a good portion of what we paid to Real in a few years time.

 

[Conor]

He’s on about 80/90k so it’s good business all round

Definitely good to get him off the books, but it's not the sort of salary that means he's absolutely unsellable and should only go on a free, we should be making money from his transfer.

 

[IRONTUSK]

Anyone else they want?

Maquire
Fred
Donny Beek

Please take them

 

[mu4c_20le]

It would be utterly insane if we broke even on him.

We made a profit on James. Telles isn't a terrible player, just not suited to this league.

 

[Woziak]

I think we’ll get £12m which is ok for a 30 year old with 1 year left in contract

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Genuinely one of the most forgettable United players ever.

 

[TheNewEra]

In a parallel universe Woodward is giving him a 4 year renewal

 

[Lee565]

I forgot about yet another wonderful signing made by ole that has offered sod all resale value, you can add that to Maguire, ronaldo, beek, sancho, cavani and bissaka.

The funny thing is telles will probably make triple of what nassr are offering as a transfer fee in wages per year

 

[Lash]

Don't get the hate for him. He was cheap, he did alright as a back up to Shaw, not good enough for us now and we're potentially getting a fee for him.

Ended up being a decent transfer

 

[iKnowNothing]

I can’t believe there’s going to be a fee for this guy! Anything in the 10mil range would be awesome!

 

[Vidyoyo]

I'll miss him like the desert misses the rain

 

[edgecutter]

In fairness, his transfer did give Luke Shaw a massive kick up the backside.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

My lasting memory of him will be him putting "I asked myself if this was a good season" onto social media after the Rangnick debacle

Right after the last game of this season vs Palace when we'd lost 6 or 7 on the trot away from home and scrapped Europa League because West Ham got beat - I can imagine the replies put him straight!

Glad we've managed to get rid - that summer's business still baffles me. Hopefully Amad can salvage it.

 

[horsechoker]

Everything but the left-back

People need to complain otherwise they can't take a shite in the morning. Look at the poster above you.

Celebrating beating us in the EL whilst we were still his parent club did make him look a dick, not losing sleep over it but I don't exactly love the bloke for that.

That's a decent fee. We struggled to get him off the books in europe last season.

True, I did forget about that. Ultimately we don't want him, so not that arsed.

 

[resimad7]

Goodbye.

probably the most un-Manchester united player I’ve ever seen us buy along with Darmian, Rojo, Lukaku and Fellaini
