Szczesny was interviewed by Meczyki's YouTube channel, focusing on the past weeks.
He said, "Arsenal after the years at Juve? The feeling took hold and I was open to talks with Arsenal out of respect for the club. But when I started, I knew it wasn't for me.
"It was all a question of logistics. The Arsenal option came before the termination of the contract with Juventus. I said: 'Okay, we can talk'. Two days later, however, I decided that it didn't make much sense.
"Al Nassr? Can we finally tell people once and for all not to say that Cristiano encouraged me to join Al-Nassr? I haven't spoken to him in my life since he left Juventus."
