The wing player Antony van Manchester United will continue to attract transfer interest this summer, while the club wants to get the Brazilian out of their books.
Sources with close links to the agents who have provided the industry Enchanted With the latest information about the situation of Antony as a summer exit, it appears somewhat complicated.
Although Man Utd ideally would sell Antony permanently, it has turned out to be a challenge so far, with the 25-year rejections of Saudi Pro League clubs and of Brazilian side Botafogo.
Benfica has now emerged as new lovers for Antony, but only prosecute a loan agreement.
Sources add that Atletico Madrid, Brighton and RB Leipzig are three other clubs that follow the situation of Antony.
Will Manchester United Antony be able to discharge?
Antony has been a big flop at Old Trafford, so it might be logical that there are not exactly long lists of clubs that are ready to sign him permanently.
The former Ajax man did quite well on loan last season at Real Betis, so he clearly did not lose all his ability, but a permanent deal would still be seen as a bit of a gamble.
Benfica could now represent the best bet of United for now to discharge Antony, with several sources that confirm that the Portuguese giants have already held two rounds, although without much progress so far.
“Benfica investigates the possibility of a loan for Antony,” said a source. “There have been two contacts so far, but United only wants to release the player with transfer costs.”
Antony is there with the worst signing sessions of Man Utd
Since the retirement of the legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, there have been many large Duds on the transfer market for MUFC.
Huge amounts have been spent on large signing sessions to try to get the club at its best, but people like Paul Pogba, Angel di Maria, Harry Maguire, Romelu Lukaku, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund were all disappointing.
Antony is there with the most disappointing of the party, and it is now clear that the club will have trouble getting him out of their books.
United fans will desperately hope that their happiness improves with the signing sessions of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer, while Benjamin Sesko is also on his way to Manchester and there is an exciting addition to the present and the future.
