Alex Telles is considered to be one of the top tacklers in the history of Major League Soccer (MLS). Born on August 17, 1988, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Telles began his professional career with Palmeiras FC before moving to Europe to play for clubs such as AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Telles made his debut for PSG in 2014 and quickly established himself as one of the team's most important players. He was named the club's Player of the Year in both 2015 and 2016, and he helped PSG win the Ligue 1 title in 2017.
In 2019, Telles signed with Santos FC, a Brazilian club that has had some of the best defensive players in the world over the years. Despite facing competition from other top defenders like Alisson Becker and Ederson, Telles continued to perform at a high level and became known as one of the best left-backs in the league.
One of Telles' standout performances came during the 2020 season when he led Santos to their first-ever Copa Libertadores title. In the final match against River Plate, Telles played a crucial role in helping Santos secure the victory, scoring a goal and making several key tackles throughout the game.
Despite his success at Santos, Telles remains a top defender in MLS and continues to be a vital player for his team. His versatility, strong tackling abilities, and excellent footwork make him a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. With his recent move to the New York Red Bulls, it seems likely that Telles will continue to be a key player for the club for many years to come.
