Earlier today, we’ve covered the not so optimistic news from Portugal regarding Manchester United’s chase for Alex Telles.
Newspaper Record said nothing is happening right now, and A Bola claimed Porto continue wait for the Red Devils to increase their bid for the left-back. They’re reportedly offering €15m, while the Liga NOS side want at least €20m.
And it seems the Dragons won’t let things continue until the last minute, at least according to what local Porto newspaper O Jogo writes today.
They say this is a ‘decisive week’ for the player’s future, because the Portuguese side ‘won’t wait much longer’ to receive a ‘satisfactory proposal’ from Manchester United.
So if Manchester United’s plan is to hold it until the last minute to see if Porto will give in to pressure, it seems there’s a good chance the Red Devils could end up empty handed.
However, despite that, as long as they offered enough by, say, Saturday, it must be considered likely Porto will accept.
