Antony Pursued by Saudi Pro League Sides Amid Transfer Speculation

Antony, Manchester United's winger, is being pursued by two top Saudi Pro League clubs, as the transfer window heats up.

The 25-year-old winger is weighing his options, with a move back to Real Betis, where he spent last season on loan, looking increasingly unlikely.

Manchester United prefer a permanent sale, but bids are yet to materialise, with only Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis having contacted them so far.

Real Betis cannot afford a permanent deal for Antony, and are instead hoping to discuss another loan, after he scored 9 goals and made 5 assists in 26 appearances for the club.

Antony thrived at Betis, but the club's financial constraints are limiting their ability to sign him permanently.

The interest from Saudi Arabia is increasing, and Antony may be open to exploring the idea, although he would prefer to remain in Europe, with clubs like Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich monitoring his situation.

As of July 25, 2025, Antony's future remains uncertain, with no concrete offers on the table.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Erik ten Hag has ruled out a move for Antony, saying "we are not interested at the moment", despite having signed him for Manchester United in a £86m deal in 2022.

Antony wants to take his time to choose his next move, with several clubs across Europe interested in signing him, including Bayern Munich, who are prioritising a left-winger.

The winger's situation is being closely watched, with Manchester United looking to offload him, and several clubs waiting in the wings to sign him.

Antony's preference is to remain in Europe, but the increasing interest from Saudi Arabia may be tempting, as he considers his next step.
