The Brazilian star signed a contract with the Saudi Pro League side last July that reportedly saw him earn £7m-a-year ($9.2m).

    During the last year, Telles has made a total of 38 appearances for Al-Nassr and bagged five assists while scoring thrice. However, the Saudi Pro League boss Luis Castro believes the Brazilian will be a surplus to the squad for this season and has allowed the termination to go through.

    The 31-year-old full-back can join a club of his choice as a free-agent despite the summer transfer window having closed in some European countries.
