Man United Set Antony Price Tag Amid Al Nassr Bid

Manchester United Set £50 Million Price Tag for Antony Amidst Al-Nassr Interest

Manchester United have reportedly set an asking price of at least £50 million for Brazilian winger Antony, as Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr intensify their efforts to sign the player this summer.

Sources close to the negotiations indicate that Al-Nassr, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, have made a concrete bid for the 24-year-old, who has endured a challenging spell at Old Trafford since his £85 million move from Ajax in 2022.

While the exact figure of Al-Nassr’s offer remains undisclosed, it is understood that United are holding firm on their valuation, aiming to recoup a significant portion of their initial investment.

Antony’s agent has reportedly confirmed the player’s openness to a move to the Saudi Pro League, suggesting a desire for a fresh start after a period of inconsistent performances and off-field issues.

Despite flashes of brilliance, the winger has struggled to consistently justify his hefty price tag, managing only 11 goals and 5 assists in 82 appearances for the Red Devils. Last season proved particularly difficult, with only three goals and two assists across all competitions.

The potential transfer to Al-Nassr could see Antony reunite with former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who is said to be influential in the Saudi club’s recruitment strategy.

Al-Nassr’s ambitious plans to bolster their squad with high-profile international talent align with their reported interest in Antony, as they seek to strengthen their team for both domestic and continental competitions.

Manchester United, under new management with a potential new footballing structure, appears willing to offload players who haven’t met expectations, as they look to reshape the squad.

While a loan move was previously considered, it now seems the club prefers a permanent sale, provided Al-Nassr meets their financial demands.
