Manchester United has had bids worth €80m and €90m rejected by Ajax (The Athletic), and they are now ready to make another offer.
According to The Mirror, Manchester United will make one final deal-breaking bid to sign Antony from the Dutch champions.
According to reputable British news, the Eredivisie giants are seeking a fee of £84.8 million for the sale of their prized asset.
Antony has stated his desire to relocate to Old Trafford. He was not in the Match Day squad against Sparta Rotterdam last weekend, and he does not want to play today against Utrecht.
The 22-year-old Olympic champion scored 22 goals last season but missed the last few months due to an ankle injury.
The young South American attacker scored two goals and provided two assists in the first three games for the Dutch side this season, but his main goal is to sign with Manchester United.
Manchester United broke their transfer record (Sky Sports) in 2016 when they signed Paul Pogba for £89 million. In contrast, United paid £80 million to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City in 2019. (BBC).
So, if Manchester United spend £84.8 million on Antony, he will become the club’s second-largest signing in its history. It would be illogical to cancel the deal after pursuing him for months and getting so close to Ajax’s asking price.
