Ajax and Manchester United reach agreement over potential €100 million fee for Antony

08/30/2022

In a statement, Ajax have confirmed that after weeks of negotiations that they have reached an agreement with Manchester United over a potential €100 million fee for Antony. The 21-year-old signed for the Dutch side in the summer of 2020 and has since made 82 appearances, contributing to 46 goals.

Following their humiliating start to the season, it has seen Manchester United act rapidly with the club moving quickly to sign Casemiro. However, reports had indicated that the club’s top target has been Antony for most of the season although Ajax had kept rebuffing any potential move. So much so, that the Dutch giants had rejected not one or two but four bids from the Red Devils, with the last one reaching a potential €80 million fee. Yet, reports revealed that they were still in negotiations as United had upped their bid to €100 million.
