Manchester United offered Real Madrid the chance to sign Antony for €30 million, but the Merengues have rejected the opportunity.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Real Madrid had the chance to sign Antony next year. Manchester United offered the 23-year-old winger for just €30 million. But the Merengues have rejected the opportunity to secure his services, leaving Manchester United in a spot of bother.
Antony at Manchester United: The Story So Far
Antony has flattered to deceive since joining Manchester United from Ajax last year. The Brazil international was a panic buy at a fee worth €100 million, considering the Red Devils could have signed him for a lesser sum. And he has failed to live up to the billing, barely contributing to goals during his stint thus far.
The 23-year-old has been dreadful in the 2023/24 season, with his work rate being his only redeeming factor. He has yet to contribute to a goal thus far in 19 appearances, raising doubts about his suitability in the Manchester United attack. And it seems Antony’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain.
What Does the Future Have in Store for the 23-Year-Old Wide Man?
Recent reports have claimed that the Red Devils are weighing up offering the Brazilian wide man in the part-exchange deal to sign Takefusa Kubo. The latest update by Defensa Central has revealed that Manchester United gave Real Madrid the opportunity to secure Antony’s services for just €30 million.
Unfortunately, Antony’s recent performances mean that even €30 million might not be a worthy investment in him. So, it is hardly surprising that Real Madrid immediately turned down the offer to sign the 23-year-old Manchester United winger. But they remain in the market for offensive reinforcement ahead of the 2024 summer transfer window.
Recent reports have linked Los Blancos with Kenan Yildiz, Claudio Echeverri, and a few other attackers. But Antony will not arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu anytime soon after Real Madrid rejected the chance to sign him for €30 million.
Manchester United might need another alternative to part ways with Antony next year. Perhaps the part-exchange deal to sign Takefusa Kubo might see the light of day. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the 23-year-old Brazilian international.
