Saudi Arabia's "Al-Nasr" club star Cristiano Ronaldo wanted the team to have winger Antony. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
However, Antony preferred to move to the "Betis" club. This was reported by Spain's Radio Marca publication.
It is known that the approaching football World Cup influenced Antony's choice. At "Betis," he has a much higher chance to showcase himself and secure a spot in the World Cup.
Additionally, playing in the Spanish La Liga competition helps him gain more attention, according to the source. Antony is well acquainted with the "Betis" club.
He played for this team in the second half of last season and reached the Conference League final with the Sevilla team. During that time, he stood out as one of the team's brightest players.
