Jadon Sancho and Antony have been offered to clubs in the Saudi Pro League as Manchester United try to recoup some of the £155 million they spent on the wingers.
United want around £50 million each for Sancho and Antony, who have both struggled since making big-money moves to Old Trafford, Evening Standard reported on Monday.
Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq wanted Sancho, a £73 million signing in 2021, on loan last summer but would not agree to include a £50 million obligation to buy him.
Sancho has since re-joined Borussia Dortmund on loan, a move United hope will recover some of his value and attract further interest ahead of the summer.
Erik ten Hag gave Antony, a £86 million signing in 2022, a warning to “do better” last week. He also has an uncertain future.
Saudi clubs signed Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho from Chelsea and Liverpool last summer, but their transfer budgets are limited this month.
United director of football John Murtough met Saudi Pro League and Saudi Ministry of Sport officials at the Club World Cup in December to build connections, with an increased opportunity to sell players expected in the summer.
Casemiro is the player most wanted by Saudi clubs. The Red Devils are inclined to sell the 31-year-old midfielder, who has been out with an ankle injury since October, for the right price.
Raphael Varane could also move to Saudi Arabia, but United are unlikely to receive a transfer fee for him after opting against exercising a one-year extension clause in his contract.
