Real Madrid Eyeing Porto Defender as Marcelo Alternative After Officials Discuss Deal in Portugal

Porto left back Alex Telles could be on his way to Real Madrid, with Los Blancos keen to add to their squad as the new season approaches. The European champions held talks on Monday with the Portuguese club, according to Portuguese publication Record.

Real may have a vacancy in the left back position because Theo Hernandez is being pushed out by the Spanish giants. If this is the case, the outfit will need a replacement.

The Porto star arrived at the club in 2016 and has played two seasons there. The 25-year-old started his career in Brazil where he was born.
