Manchester United's troubled winger Antony could be heading for a sensational exit, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League reportedly circling the Brazilian star.
The 24-year-old, who joined United in a blockbuster £85m deal from Ajax in 2022, has failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford. After a difficult second season marked by inconsistent performances and off-field controversies, the Red Devils may be willing to cut their losses.
Saudi Interest Heats Up
Sources suggest several Saudi clubs have expressed interest in acquiring Antony's services. The Middle Eastern league's financial muscle could make them an attractive destination for both player and club.
"There's genuine interest from Saudi Arabia," revealed an insider. "They see potential in Antony and believe a change of scenery could reignite his career."
United's Dilemma
United face a tough decision - persist with their expensive signing or cash in while Saudi interest remains strong. The club's hierarchy is understood to be weighing up their options carefully.
Manager Erik ten Hag, who previously worked with Antony at Ajax, has remained publicly supportive but may be running out of patience with his inconsistent performances.
What This Means for Antony
A move to Saudi Arabia would represent a significant career crossroads for the Brazilian international. While the league offers lucrative financial packages, it would mean stepping away from European football's elite competition.
However, after a turbulent period in England, the prospect of regular football and a fresh start could appeal to the winger.
As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on whether this potential move materialises or if Antony gets one final chance to prove his worth at Old Trafford.
