According to rumours in the English press, Dutch club Ajax turned down a sizable bid from rival Manchester United in order to sign Brazilian winger Anthony before the summer transfer window closed.
The Athletic reports that Manchester United made a bid to Ajax of 80 million euros in an effort to get the services of the Brazilian Anthony, but the offer was turned down.
According to the tabloid, the Ajax player is a top target for the United administration as they look to improve their offensive line, but the Dutch club is adamant that it won’t part with its services this summer.
After the team’s poor start in the English Premier League by losing the first two games against Brighton and Brentford, Manchester United is attempting to bolster the teams ranks before the end of the current summer Mercato at the end of August.
In another situation, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is trying to buy a piece of Manchester United after reading in the press that the Glazer family is willing to sell some of the club’s stock in exchange for eventual ownership.
A British businessman named Sir Jim Ratcliffe has expressed interest in purchasing Chelsea this year after previously distancing himself from the purchase of Manchester United.
Jim is undoubtedly a prospective buyer if the club is put up for sale, he told The Times.
We would be interested in speaking from a long-term ownership standpoint if anything like this were conceivable, he continued.
Jim is considering what can be done right away, and given how crucial the club is to the community, it seems like a good moment to start over, the speaker said. This is not about money that has been spent or not spent.
