Ajax are said to be reluctant to sell their star player but will listen to offers.
They have set a price of £68 million, which United will not pay.

The report states: “Manchester United have not given up on signing Ajax star Antony.”
“The Premier League side are plotting a last attempt to land the winger, GOAL understands, but the Dutch team do not want to let him leave and have frustrated the Red Devils with their demands.”

“United have been after the 22-year-old all summer and his agents travelled to Europe early in the transfer window to arrange a deal.”

“But the club’s previous offer of €60 million (£51m/$61m) fell far short of the figure Ajax are demanding for Antony.”
