July 07, (THEWILL) – Manchester United has upped their offer to €60 million for Ajax winger, Antony, as they desire to get more deals wrapped up.
Since the conclusion of the 2021/2022 Eredivisie season, Antony’s agent has reportedly been working to get him a transfer to United.
Antony scored eight goals and provided four assists in 23 league games, as well as an additional two goals and four assists in seven UEFA Champions League matches, proving that he can compete at the highest level.
However, with three years left on his contract, Ajax are confidently in charge of the negotiations and in no haste to see it through. And, the back-to-back Eredivisie champions, where Erik ten Hag recently won the championship before moving to Old Trafford, are keen to keep Antony for another season.
Although the negotiations are still underway, United’s bid is much below Ajax’s projected €80 million acceptable price. But, United are negotiating, as they continue to show interest in Leicester midfielder, Youri Tielemans and the blazing Nigerian forward for Napoli, Victor Osimhen, estimated to be worth more than €100 million.
