Manchester United is about to ask Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) for a favor. The team is desperate to sell the striker who has turned into a nuisance.
British media ‘Sportsbible’ reported on the 7th (Korea time) that “Antoni (24) has been named the number one sale of Manchester United in the summer transfer market. It was acquired for a whopping 86 million pounds (about 150.5 billion won) in 2022, but it is still in a slump,” adding, “Suddenly, Al Nasr of the Saudi Professional League (SPL) is considering recruiting Antoni. Manchester United tried to sell Antoni even if he guaranteed him 100,000 pounds (about 175 million won) a week.”
Al-Nasr is Ronaldo’s current team. He wants to recruit the winger this summer. According to Football Insider, Al-Nasr approached Brazilian winger Hafinha (28, FC Barcelona), but the club refused to sell him.
Last season, Al-Nasr finished second in the SPL, trailing only Al-Hilal (96 points), with 26 wins, four draws, and four losses. Al-Nasr, who is still formulating Ronaldo, is making efforts to recruit a flanker. According to local media, Antony has rapidly emerged as a priority for Al-Nasr.
Al-Nasr, who hurriedly turned to Antony for Manchester United, has no time to spare. The closing period of the summer transfer window is just around the corner. “Saudi Arabian team must complete recruitment by the end of this month,” Football Insider said. “Manchester United is trying to sell Antony, who is not living up to his ransom. Antony has only scored a single goal in 29 English Premier League matches. It was his first goal in 23 matches.” 먹튀검증
Manchester United already signed a five-year contract with Antony. He is willing to sell the team even at the risk of huge losses. He even gave up his coach who served as an apprentice and mentor at Ajax. The media said, “Manchester United signed Antonio 2027, but Erik ten Hag (54) is willing to let him leave.”
Manchester United has already planned to bring in a substitute for Antony’s sale. “Football Insider” said that Manchester United will bring in a new offensive option with the money that Antony sold. It will need 50 million pounds (about 87.4 billion won) to recruit Ivan Toney (28, Brentford).
