Antony was a major up-and-coming star at Ajax under Erik ten Hag and had several clubs keeping tabs on his situation. The Dutch coach then moved to Manchester United in the summer of 2022 and made signing the Brazilian his number-one priority as the Red Devils then snapped the winger up for a fee of £85m ($110m) a few months later.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Reports from earlier this month have suggested that former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was very interested in bringing Antony to Anfield as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future at the club was under question at the time. Antony's agent Junior Pedroso has now revealed that the reports are true as he discussed why the deal fell through between the Reds and his agent.
