Manchester United have announced that they have agreed with Ajax on the transfer of Antony, and will arrange for Antony to undergo a medical examination and confirm the terms of his personal contract before applying for international transfer permission.
Although Manchester United did not disclose Antony's specific value, according to a number of British ** reports, the transfer fee was as high as 84.2 million pounds, making Antony the second-best transfer player in Manchester United history, second only to Pogba that year. Of these, £80 million is a fixed clause and another £4.2 million is a floating clause.
Manchester United, who have repeatedly made ** requests for Antony, have been rejected by Ajax, and last week Ajax also rejected 76 million pounds**. In the end, under the mediation of Ten Hag, Manchester United successfully signed Antony and successfully increased the price.
Antony joined Ajax from Sao Paulo, Brazil, at the start of 2022 for £18.2 million. During his two years at Ajax, Antony made 82 appearances, scoring 24 goals and providing 22 assists, winning two league titles and one Dutch Cup with the team.
The £84.2 million transfer fee has put Antony ahead of Tchouameni as the top bidder in the transfer market this summer. Antony will reportedly be unavailable for midweek clash with Leicester City, with his debut likely coming until United's home game against Arsenal on Sunday.
