DBasia.news – Ajax Amsterdam has become a player shopping scene for European clubs in the 2022 summer transfer market. Most of the players from their team have left this summer.
Starting from those who left as their contracts ended, namely Danilo Pereira, Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, and Przemyslaw Tyton. Followed by those who have been sold from Dominik Kotarski, Nicolas Tagliafico, Ryan Gravenberch, Sebastien Haller, to Lisandro Martinez.
In exchange for those who left, Ajax brought in Francisco Conceicao, Owen Wijndal, Brian Brobbey, Calvin Bassey and Steven Berwijn. The situation was not easy for Erik ten Hag’s new replacement coach, Alfred Schreuder.
No doubt he insisted he would no longer let the main players leave Ajax, one of the players in question was Brazilian winger, Antony. He was targeted by Manchester United.
“I really think he (Antony) will stay. That hasn’t happened in recent years. We have also bought players. But we have sold so many players that I assume no one will leave,” said Schreuder some time ago.
“No, we didn’t discuss that. But we talk to each other every day. I assume that nothing goes. If we sell one more key player, it’s not good for us.”
That’s what lies behind Ajax’s insistence on keeping their players, moreover Man United has not stopped targeting Ajax players. After successfully bringing in Martinez, Man United targeted Antony.
The 22-year-old player has become a priority for Man United to sign at the request of Erik ten Hag, the former coach of Ajax. Antony also wants to try out a new challenge to play in the Premier League. The problem is Ajax sells expensive.
Man United made an offer for 60 million euros and Ajax rejected it flatly, they valued Antony at 80 million euros. It is believed that Goal has frustrated Man United.
Antony has a contract until 2025 after entering his second year with Ajax after coming from Sao Paulo in 2020. Antony has scored 22 goals and made 78 appearances in all competitions.
