Porto, the Brazilian football club based in Porto Alegre, has announced that striker Telles will be leaving the club to join Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande. The move comes after a number of transfer rumors surrounding Telles' future at the club.
Telles joined Porto from Corinthians in 2018 and has made over 150 appearances for the club, scoring 47 goals. He was also part of the team that won the Copa Libertadores in 2020.
The move to China is expected to bring Telles more opportunities to play regularly and earn more money than he could have done at Porto. However, it remains to be seen how this move will affect his relationship with the Portuguese club.
As the transfer window continues to heat up, there are many other players who are being linked with moves to China. Some of these players include Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes, who has been linked with a move to Shanghai SIPG. Other notable names include Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.
Despite the uncertainty around Telles' future, one thing is clear: he is set to make a big impact in China. With his talent and experience, he is sure to help Guangzhou Evergrande challenge for the league title. And with Porto now having another talented player to add to their squad, they can continue to compete at the highest level in European football.
