EKO HOT BLOG reports that Ajax are set to hold firm in their bid to keep Antony out of Manchester United’s clutches after one of the Brazilian’s representatives flew to England for further discussions with the Red Devils earlier this week.
The Dutch giants have slapped a £68million price tag on the 22-year-old and remain adamant they will not soften their position on a sale following Lisandro Martinez’s £57m move to Old Trafford.
United boss Erik ten Hag has personally requested the signing of his former forward, who has already publicly outlined his desire to test himself on English shores.
But the Ajax hierarchy have collectively decided there will be no more marquee sales this summer after already offloading Martinez, Sebastien Haller, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui.
When asked if he was afraid Antony will leave, Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder said: “No, no. We have sold a certain amount of players and I am expecting nobody else to leave.
“We talk on a daily basis. It would be bad for us if we would lose another starting player.”
Meanwhile, United are seemingly in no hurry to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who they believe will still be a Manchester United player come the end of the transfer window.
The Portuguese superstar remains in Lisbon and is excused from United’s pre-season tour of Australia due to family reasons.
In the background, super-agent Jorge Mendes is continuing to float him to a list of European clubs with Atletico Madrid seemingly Ronaldo’s preferred destination of choice.
