Man City join race to sign Alex Telles?

Manchester City are reportedly contemplating an approach for Porto defender Alex Telles.

While the Brazil international is a key man at the Portuguese giants, he is due to move to a different club during the next transfer window due to having just one year left on his contract.

Although Chelsea are now only regarded as outsiders for the left-back's signature, Paris Saint-Germain are expected to make a strong effort to sign the 26-year-old.

However, Correio de Manha claims that the Ligue 1 champions face stiff competition from City, who are considering their options at full-back.

With Oleksandr Zinchenko and Benjamin Mendy having failed to hold down a regular starting role, Pep Guardiola is open to bringing in a fresh face for that position.

In four years at Porto, Telles has contributed 21 goals and 52 assists from just 183 appearances.
