This summer, Antony was one of Manchester United’s top targets, and negotiations have been going on between the club and the players’ representatives as well as with Ajax.
As Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is still up in the air, United is unsure exactly what they will need to do this summer in terms of bringing in attacking players.
Erik Ten Hag would like to add Antony to his United squad next season due to understanding the potential and ability of the winger and what he could bring to the Premier League.
However, Ajax would like United to pay around €80million for the winger which is a fee that the Red Devils see as unfeasible.
Ajax doesn’t want to lose Antony this summer as they’ve already lost a number of key players this summer, having sold Lisandro Martinez to United already.
However, Antony would be open to a move away from Ajax in this transfer window with the Premier League seen in his eyes as a dream move for his career.
According to the transfer specialist, Fabrizio Romano, “Antony’s agents would be happy for him to make his move this summer. They want ajax to have a negotiation with United”
“But at the moment, still nothing imminent. Ajax now needs to sign some players & Manchester United needs to clarify Cristiano’s situation.”
