An agreement has been struck between Manchester United Football Club and Ajax over the purchase of Brazilian forward Anthony, 22.
Manchester United has agreed to pay 95 million euros ($94. 6 million), plus five million euros in possible variables, according to the British news agency BA Media.
And after defender Lisandro Martinez, Anthony is anticipated to join coach Eric Ten Hag at Manchester United from Ajax, the Dutch champions.
The cost was 57 for Manchester United.
Martinez, a player from Argentina, cost 37 million euros; the sum may rise another 10 million euros, and the two teams are currently close to reaching a larger agreement.
Anthony had already received a contract offer from Manchester United, but it was rejected a few days ago. Since then, the club has increased the worth of its offer to include the player, who last Friday vented his anger in an interview.
Anthony stated to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano in an interview that was published on YouTube that “my agents have been coming to Amsterdam since February of last year to advise Ajax of my wish to leave the squad for a fresh challenge and that some interested teams may make enormous offers.”
The meetings ended with an offer from Ajax to extend my contract with them during the months of the transfer market, he continued. Once more, I stated my desire to leave the club.
He went on, I expressed my wish to quit the club today during a meeting with the board of directors, and this time I had a sizable offer on the table. There have already been other offers, but Ajax always declines, claiming he only has five days to make up for my departure.
I’m not asking him (Ajax) to leave me, he said, but I am asking Ajax to sell me for the highest price offered to a player in the Eredivisie.
The English Premier League match between Manchester United and Leicester City is scheduled for Thursday night, the same time the transfer market closes.
Manchester United had a terrible start to the season after suffering two straight losses to Brighton (1–2) and Brentford (0–4), but it found its footing on Saturday by defeating Liverpool (2–1) and Southampton (1–0).
And thus far this summer, Tyrell Malacia, Martinez, Christian Eriksen, and Casemiro have all been signed by Manchester United.
