Real Madrid linked Galatasaray defender Alex Telles has joined Inter Milan on a loan deal.
Telles joined the Turkish giants last year from Brazilian outfit Gremio and went on to become a regular fixture in the first team at the Turk Telekom Arena.
He went on to make 60 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice and setting up his team-mates with a further four goals. His performances saw him attract the attention of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
And now the Nerazzurri have acquired him on a loan deal with an option to make the move permanent. A statement released on the Inter Milan website confirmed the deal.
“F.C. Internazionale is pleased to announce the signing of Alex Telles from Galatasaray.
