Antony is missing from Ajax’s match selection for the away match against Sparta Rotterdam this afternoon. The Brazilian is said to be on the verge of a transfer to Manchester United.
According to De Telegraaf, the Amsterdam club declined an offer of eighty million euros last Thursday. After that, the winger still appeared at the club, but he no longer trained with the selection of trainer Alfred Schreuder.
Last month sold Ajax Lisandro Martinez already to the new club of trainer Erik ten Hag, who has started the competition with two defeats disappointingly. Even then, the cash register in Amsterdam rang: United paid at least 57 million euros and through bonuses that amount can rise to 67 million euros.
Steven Berghuis replaces Antony in the base this afternoon. Sparta – Ajax starts at 2.30 pm. To accommodate the possible departure of Antony for the longer term, Ajax would like to bring Hakim Ziyech back. The Moroccan international does not get much time to play at Chelsea and could possibly be hired.
