Manchester United star Antony is reportedly not keen to move to big-spending Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr.
Manchester United winger Antony has shown no interest in a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, despite growing interest from Al-Nassr in the ongoing summer transfer window.
During the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke disclosed that the Brazilian winger is not keen on a switch to the Middle East and would reject any advances from Saudi Arabia.
Despite Antony’s stance, Manchester United are said to be open to “significant” offers for the player this summer, as they seek to offload certain players and reinvest in alternative options.
Manchester United Willing to Sell Amidst Potential Loss
Manchester United’s willingness to part ways with Antony comes just two years after they secured his services from Ajax for a hefty £82 million. However, the Red Devils are now prepared to accept a loss on their investment should the right offer come along.
Al-Nassr, having previously missed out on signing Raphinha from Barcelona, had prioritised a move for Antony as they continue to bolster their squad with high-profile signings. Despite this interest, Antony remains focused on his career in the Premier League and has shown little desire to move to the Saudi Pro League.
Future at Old Trafford in Doubt
Since his big-money transfer to Manchester United in 2022, Antony has struggled to live up to expectations. Over the course of 82 appearances for the Red Devils, he has managed just 11 goals and five assists, with only one goal and one assist coming from his Premier League appearances last season.
Given his underwhelming performance, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is open to the idea of selling the winger, provided a suitable offer is received. However, Antony is determined to remain in England’s top flight and prove his worth at Old Trafford.
Al-Nassr’s interest in Antony highlights the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing efforts to attract top talent and raise the profile of the league. However, with injuries to key Manchester United players such as Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford, the club may need to rely on Antony in the early stages of the season, potentially complicating any transfer plans.
While Al-Nassr are eager to secure Antony’s signature, the Brazilian international’s desire to stay in the Premier League suggests that a move to Saudi Arabia is unlikely in the immediate future.
