Manchester United winger ready to reject Saudi transfer | OneFootball

Manchester United winger Antony has rejected a formal transfer offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr as he continues to push for a permanent move to Real Betis.

According to multiple reports from Spain, the bid from Cristiano Ronaldo’s club is just the latest proposal the winger has dismissed. The 25-year-old, who has been deemed surplus to requirements under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, has also previously turned down approaches from Brazilian clubs Botafogo and Sao Paulo.

Antony’s determination stems from a highly successful loan spell at Betis last season, where he felt valued by the coaching staff and rediscovered his best form.

According to Sport the Brazilian international is so committed to a return that he is willing to accept a significant pay cut and maintain his stance until the final days of the transfer window.

This has created a complex standoff between the club and the player. Manchester United, needing to balance its books and fund its own transfer targets, is eager to sell Antony to the highest bidder. On the other side, Real Betis are equally determined to bring him back but are constrained by their budget.

The Spanish club is reportedly preparing a structured offer of approximately $€20 million (around £17 million), which would be supplemented by a sell-on clause. This clause would grant United a percentage of any future transfer fee Betis receives for the player, offering potential long-term value.

The proposal, however, remains well below United’s initial valuation. The Premier League club now faces a difficult decision: accept a compromised fee from Antony’s only desired destination or risk retaining an unsettled player who is not in the manager’s plans.

Both Antony and Betis are aware that the pressure on United will intensify as the transfer deadline draws closer. This saga has become a strategic waiting game, with all parties braced for further negotiations.
