Born on May 17, 1996, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Telles began his career with Santos in his home country before moving to Portugal to play for Sporting CP. He made his professional debut with the latter club in September 2015 and was subsequently loaned out to several clubs across Europe.
Telles impressed during his time at Sporting and attracted interest from top European clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea. However, he decided to stay with his hometown club, where he has developed into a key player under manager Jorge Jesus.
In the summer of 2018, Telles moved to FC Porto, a team known for its defensive solidity and tactical prowess. His signing was seen as a coup by the Portuguese giants, who were looking to strengthen their backline after losing key defenders like Tiago席尔瓦和Rafinha在过去的赛季中Bundesliga Tracking。

The 22-year-old's rise to prominence is testament to his hard work and dedication to the game. He has already earned a reputation as one of the best young defenders in Europe, and it will be exciting to see how he develops over the coming years. With his versatility and excellent technical ability, there is no doubt that Telles will continue to make a name for himself in Portuguese football and beyond.
