Another piece of speculation, covered by El Nacional, suggests that Cristiano Ronaldo has requested his current team, Al Nassr, to pursue Manchester United winger Antony.
The notion of Ronaldo assuming a semi-sporting director role to sway transfers is intriguing but appears unlikely.
Although Antony’s future at United has been questioned due to his fluctuating performances, the idea of him moving to Saudi Arabia under Ronaldo’s influence seems highly speculative.
This rumor contributes to the many improbable stories circulating during this summer’s transfer window.
El Nacional is known for its eye-catching reports, and this one seems to stretch the bounds of reality, aligning with the broader trend of sensational claims often seen during transfer seasons.
