Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr is another team to be interested in hiring Manchester United striker Antony. The information is from “UOL”.
According to the publication, the Saudi team signaled to United that they will make an official offer to hire the player, who resumed good football for Betis, from Spain, last season, loaned by the English team.

The big problem to close the business is the high values involved. Manchester United asks for 58 million euros to release Antony – about $ 370 million for the current price.
In addition, Al-Nassr disbursed a high value to hire João Félix with Chelsea. The Portuguese press reported that the deal was in their 30 million euros – about $ 196 million.
Another issue that can disturb Al-Nassr’s plans is the interest of other clubs in hiring Antony. After the good season at Betis, a series of European teams probed the situation of the Brazilian.

RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen from Germany, Brighton and Newcastle from England and Betis himself from Spain would like to hit the athlete’s hiring.
The trend, however, is that United does not lower the initial request by Antony, seeking to recover some of the investment made to hire the player. The Brazilian cost 95 million euros to the English club in 2023, coming from Ajax.
Antony made 96 matches with United’s shirt, totaling 12 goals and 5 assists. The player has a contract with the English by the middle of 2027, but should not be used by Red Devils.
