The Brazilian impressed the new Dutch manager at Manchester United last year, and he directly helped the Eredivisie team score more than 20 goals.
But it looks like it will be hard to get Antony from Ajax. mostly because they wanted a lot of money. In the end, they don’t want to lose the tricky winger, especially since they’ve already lost a number of important players this summer
Even though everyone agreed that a deal for Antony wasn’t possible, United kept trying. The most recent part of the story was told by O Globo, with a little help from @utdreport for the translation.
It looks like United and the player have agreed on a number of things, such as personal terms, the length of the contract, and other things.
Now, it’s hard to figure out a price with Ajax.
In order to make the deal happen, it looks like United will offer the Dutch club £80 million (€94 million).
It’s clear that’s a huge amount of money. Most likely, United is spending too much money on Antony. But because of how things are now, the club has no choice but to do that.
Still, will Ajax take this deal? Who can say…? They probably won’t get another offer this high for Antony, so they’ll definitely think about it. I guess it all depends on whether they think they can replace the Brazilian successfully before the window closes.
Also, Antony seems ready to help. He didn’t work out over the weekend, so Ajax left him off the roster for their 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday.
