Agent Fernando Otto, who represents Galatasaray defender Alex Telles, has suggested that six clubs are interested in his client.

The 22 year-old has been linked with a move elsewhere in recent weeks after making a mixed start to his time in Istanbul following his arrival from Grêmio for a reported fee of €6.15 million in January 2014.

After winning the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası [Turkish Cup] in his first season, Telles then found himself marginalised under Head Coach Cesare Prandelli at the start of this term. 

The Italian was however, replaced by Hamza Hamzaoğlu in November 2014 and though Telles has since come back into favour, Otto suggests he could still depart.

"Three clubs from Brazil want Telles," he said, as reported by website Turkish Football. “Two Italian teams and one German club have also made offers for my client."

Telles was recently paired with a switch to Flamengo, who are managed by Vanderlei Luxemburgo. The full-back played under ‘Luxa" at Grêmio, but denied at the time of the rumours that a reunion in Rio de Janeiro was a realistic option.
