The forward and captain of Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo, wanted to see winger Antony at the Saudi club, journalist Marcos Bernat reported.
According to the source, the Brazilian was close to transferring to Al Nassr this summer. Ronaldo viewed the possible transfer of Antony positively.
“Antony’s representatives were negotiating with Al Nassr, the player listened to the proposal, and in Cristiano Ronaldo’s circle, the deal was considered almost finalized. At that time, Cristiano perceived this idea positively, and this was communicated to the player himself,” Marca quotes Bernat.
Recall that on the last day of the transfer window, Antony moved from Manchester United to Betis.
